Hi,

I am unable to access the phone book when running my app from QtCreator
on the phone.
Is this a security feature ?

I've needed to access PIM data myself, so, as far as I can tell from my own investigations, yes, it's Unix security. The directory .local/share/system/privileged is only accessible to processes that are in the "privileged" group.

The standard boosters (used by mapplauncherd) seem to be sgid "privileged", thus automatically giving Qt/QML apps that use them the necessary privileges (at least when launched from the phone menu, I suppose). But when you just launch something using ssh (not mapplauncherd), the apps probably won't belong to that group automatically.
