[Bug 1465675] Re: API needed to determine if App ID is a scope

 

Are you sure you can't click for this information?  Take the Youtube
scope for instance, with a scope ID of
"com.ubuntu.scopes.youtube_youtube".  I can get the manifest for the
package with:

    click info com.ubuntu.scopes.youtube

Looking at the manifest, the hooks.youtube dict has a "scope" key, so I
know that this is a scope.  Presumably you can do that with the API too?

Title:
  API needed to determine if App ID is a scope

Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  
  There are a few cases where we'd like it if a higher level service could determine if a particular AppID is connected to a scope. This mostly deals with requests that relate to trusted session prompts as they need to be overlayed on top of the dash instead of the calling process. Another is so that URL dispatcher can return better errors on the scope:// URL namespace. I don't think that it needs to be complex, roughly something like this:

  bool isScope (const char * appid);
