Bug Description

The mediaplayer app doesn't have the key "X-Ubuntu-Touch=true" in its .desktop file. That causes unity8 to recognize it as legacy app and it will trigger a warning message when it's running while leaving windowed mode. Soon unity8 will also prevent running legacy apps in staged mode.

We either need to implement a proper way to allow hiding things from the apps scope or figure something else to determine if an app is supporting the Ubuntu touch life cycle.

Isn't "OnlyShowIn=" respected by the click scope as well?
