The problem appears to be the avalanche of trusted prompts that will be triggered on the first search on an aggregator that talks to a bunch of child scopes. This creates an OOBE that truly sucks.
Rather than have five or more prompts in a row, would it be possible, the first time an aggregator that needs location info gets a search, to trigger a *single* dialog that is nice and friendly? Something along the lines of "The following scopes have requested access to location information: Scope1, scope2, scope3. Do you want to permit this? You can change these settings at any time in system settings, or click here to do this now." At least this would stop popping a while series of prompts. Also, for some scopes that we "trust", would it be possible to have them installed with permission already enabled? I don't know whether there is such a thing as a "trusted click package". But, if we could do this, we would avoid the trusted prompt for at least some of the scopes. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scopes-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1419829 Title: [Scope] location settings are enabled by default Status in the base for Ubuntu mobile products: New Status in Ubuntu UX bugs: New Status in unity-scopes-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: This is in contrast to the rest of the system where user have to explicitly grant access right upfront. Possible solution would be to add a new page in phone setup wizard asking for whether scopes are allowed to use location or not and then applying this to individual scope location settings.
