I tried to modify the reminders-app to use the new account APIs in
15.10-dev1, but the application won't start.
I suspect that this has something to do with this:
========
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ sudo aa-clickhook
ERROR: Could not find framework for
'com.ubuntu.reminders_pushHelper_0.5.496.json'. Skipping
ERROR: Could not find framework for
'com.ubuntu.reminders_reminders_0.5.496.json'. Skipping
========

Are these errors caused by the missing security policy, as you wrote
above?

Anyway, how to proceed? I'm not very fond of backporting the changes
to the 15.04 framework, because we shouldn't modify a framework after
having released it (save for bugfixes). What if an application starts
using the new Online Accounts APIs in 15.04, and a user installs it in
one device which has the 15.04 framework, but not updated to the
latest OTAs? If one has the original 15.04 framework, applications
using the new Online Accounts API would not work there.

Ciao,
