Note, if someone presented a list of rules that need to be added to the policy that would fix this bug since 5.3.2+dfsg-4ubuntu9 was added, I'd be happy to review them. However, before you do, please see https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone/msg04455.html: "It will talk to network-manager, but it needs wide permissions which reveal too much information (it will drill down far into the API which exposes MAC addresses, SSIDs, etc to apps). I tried giving only what made sense, but qtdeclaritive5-systeminfo-plugin didn't work right if it got some info from network-manager, but not all." I understand that this is about qtbase-opensource-src and QNetworkManagerInterface, but I've looked at NetworkManager accesses by various libs many times and it never ends well.
