Sorry to be the bearer of bad news: unfortunately this still appears
broken on certain platforms. Specifically, testing a fresh plucky image
on the Raspberry Pi, the wifi interface was recognized but not
configured:
$ ip a
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group
default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host noprefixroute
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state
DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether d8:3a:dd:8e:6e:c8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
altname wlxd83add8e6ec8
The apparmor profile in question was from the current released version
of the package:
$ apt policy apparmor
apparmor:
Installed: 4.1.0~beta5-0ubuntu4
Candidate: 4.1.0~beta5-0ubuntu4
Version table:
*** 4.1.0~beta5-0ubuntu4 500
500 http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports plucky/main arm64 Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
The wifi configuration in netplan was valid, but when running "sudo
netplan apply", the following was observed in the journal:

Running "sudo apparmor_parser --remove /etc/apparmor.d/wpa_supplicant"
then re-running "sudo netplan apply" caused the wifi interface to
associate correctly. It would appear that the apparmor profile must also
grant the ability to read "/run/netplan/*.conf" (the wildcard because
the filename is largely unpredictable) in order to support wifi via
netplan on certain common boards.
** Changed in: apparmor (Ubuntu)
Status: Fix Released => Confirmed
