Bug Description

I observed the following denials:
apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="com.ubuntu.developer.webapps.googleplus_googleplus_0.3" name="/home/phablet/.cache/QML/Apps/" pid=NNN comm="webapp-containe" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=32011 ouid=32011
apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" profile="com.ubuntu.developer.webapps.webapp-facebook_webapp-facebook_1.0.26" name="/home/phablet/.cache/QML/Apps/" pid=NNN comm="webapp-containe" requested_mask="r" denied_mask="r" fsuid=32011 ouid=32011

Apps should not have read access to the .cache/QML/Apps/ because that would be a privacy leak. After talking to ricmm on IRC, this is a noisy denial (ie, the app otherwise functions fine and the cache is used), but it is something that should be fixed in qtdeclarative-opensource-src to not confuse users.

This is simply a noisy denial and the priority should be reduced (plus we have policy in place now to silence the denial).

Changed in qtdeclarative-opensource-src (Ubuntu):
