Title:
  MainView.applicationName seemingly confuses QSettings

Status in Ubuntu UI Toolkit:
  Fix Released
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  MainView has a property applicationName which is set to
  QApplication::applicationName. The expected value is something like
  "com.ubuntu.developer.developerName.applicationName". However, the way
  this is intended to be used by Qt is to combine organisationName and
  applicationName.

  This causes QSettings not to work in confined apps. It is still
  possible to make it work by doing this in C++:

  QCoreApplication::setOrganizationName("com.ubuntu.developer.developerName.appName");
  QCoreApplication::setApplicationName("appName");

  Next problem is, that the store's automatic checks try to find the
  applicationName property in QML and reject the app if it's not
  present. I tried setting the applicationName in QML and again
  overwrite it in C++. This doesn't work. As soon as applicationName in
  QML is used, the organisationName is cleared and QSettings tries to
  store the config in

  /home/user/.config/Unknown
  Organization/com.ubuntu.developer.developerName.appName.conf

  This obviously breaks when running the app confined.

  To solve this, organisationName should be supported in MainView and
  Ubuntu specific plugins like the LocalStorage should be adjusted to
  make use of organisationName AND applicationName just in the same way
  as Qt itself uses it.
