apparmor denials with using XMLHttpRequest

[Lorn Potter]

I just tried an example app with code from:
http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtqml-xmlhttprequest-get-qml.html

QNetworkManagerInterface::QNetworkManagerInterface(QObject*) propsReply "An AppArmor policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient; type="method_call", sender=":1.107" (uid=32011 pid=7239 comm="/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/qt5/bin/qmlscene $@ M") interface="org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" member="GetAll" error name="(unset)" requested_reply="0" destination="org.freedesktop.NetworkManager" (uid=0 pid=1309 comm="NetworkManager ")"

The calls GetAll and GetDevices are used in the QtBearer network manager backend.

This could be fixed by moving to using a QtBearer backend based on connectivity-api.

But I think that API is too sparse at the moment for a completely working QtBearer.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Still an issue with Qt Creator 3.5.1 running on 16.04. Can provide logs if needed (away from development laptop at present).

I'm also getting app armor denials with XmlHttpRequests. I'm trying to fetch a series of files from a remote server to set some variables. I'm using a Nexus 4 on ubuntu-touch/rc/ubuntu-developer and an Ubuntu 16.10 laptop with the latest SDK.

I have the same issue. Latest Ubuntu SDK, 16.04, Nexus 4 stable.
Tried to run the QML WebView example with networking and webview permissions, no success: https://developer.ubuntu.com/api/apps/qml/sdk-15.04.4/Ubuntu.Web.WebView/
