Regarding the /tmp access-- I'm guessing that TMPDIR is not being set by
the process launching the confined plugin. It can be set to one of the
writable directories in the 1.3.4 policy; I suggest /run/user/$USER
/online-accounts-ui/@{APP_PKGNAME}_@{APP_APPNAME}/ since it is in /run
and will be cleaned on reboot. If you pick this, I'll adjust the policy.

Title:
  Account plugins should be made confinable by apparmor

Status in tools to review click packages:
  Confirmed
Status in Online Accounts setup for Ubuntu Touch:
  Confirmed
Status in apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With the current implementation, the QML files for account plugins are
  executed by the Online Accounts QML applet which in turn is executed
  within the System Settings process, which probably means that
  malicious account plugins could control everything that the System
  Settings process can (like entering/exiting the flight mode).

  Account plugins (or the Online Accounts applet itself) should probably
  be run in a separate process, which could then be assigned a stricter
  confinement with apparmor.
