[Feature Request]: Control App Permissions (for flatpaks) directly from the settings

Open youdontneedtoknow22 opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

One thing I like about ElemetaryOs 6 is the ability to control permissions for Flatpak packages without the need to install Flatseal, easily through the settings. It would be nice to have this feature (or somehow integrate Flatseal to the application section in the settings) on default. P.S: it's even funny that they disabled the internet access for audacity in their example due to this whole telemetry problem with it.

Sadly, implementing something like Flatseal is not trivial. That is the reason why eOS permissions settings is actually based on an early version of Flatseal.

I do have plans to move Flatseal's backend to a separate introspect-able library, so others don't need to re-invent the whole thing, but I haven't find the time yet.

If someone out there wants to sponsor this work, let's get in touch.
