Hi Michi, I guess you set the bug status to invalid by mistake?

OK, it looks like I had a very wrong idea of how the storage framework
would work. So let me recap my understanding, and please tell me if I
got it wrong.

You have your own UI to let the user configure which accounts to use,
and to configure what data should be stored there. Applications will not
have access to the account information, they will not know to which
account the data is being synchronised to and (most important) they
won't get any oauth token or other type of credentials, because all the
talking with the remote service is done by the storage-framework.

Still, someone needs to add the accounts, and request access to them.
When Online Accounts receives a request for a new account to be created,
or to grant access to an existing account to a new app, we show the name
and icon of that application (see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OnlineAccounts#App_access ).

We need to sort out what should be shown there. If the application (for
instance, the camera app) is not getting direct access to the account,
then it seems to me that presenting this request as coming from a "File
synchronisation service" is the proper thing to do.

Can you point me at some design documents from the storage framework?
Maybe if I saw them I'd understand better how to help you.

Title:
  service() method returns invalid service instance

Status in online-accounts-api package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have a Google Drive account configured. When I call GetAccounts(),
  the account is returned, and calling the service() method on the
  account returns a Service instance. But that instance returns false
  from isValid(), its id(), displayName(), and iconSource() methods
  return an empty string.
