The line above creates:

/tmp/qt-project.org/uitk.conf

I would agree that on the phone, u-a-l sets XDG_CONFIG_HOME to ~/.config/

However, the path is still ~/.config/qt-project.org/$APP_ID.conf

This *will* result in AppArmor denial since an app cannot access
~/.config/qt-project.org/*

So how are apps supposed to change that path to be something like
"~/.config/$APP_ID/$APP_ID.conf" ? A working example in QML would be
great.

Thanks.
