Title: appid:// entries in FrequentlyUsedAppsModel are not handled correctly Status in The Unity 8 shell: Fix Released Status in “unity-mir” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: In FrequentlyUsedAppsModel.qml we have some apps defined as appid://com.ubuntu.whatever/whatever/current-user-version. This is not handled correctly in unity-scopes-shell and unity8 yet. Right now this works because unity-scopes-shell doesn't recognize it as an app and passes it on to the catch-all case calling QDesktopServices::openUrl(). On the phone this correctly launches the app so this didn't get noticed so far. But this causes the following issues: * The app startup animation is not shown properly. If you launch apps from the Apps scope, you'll notice that directly on tapping the (so far white) app splash screen comes up. This doesn't happen with appid:// urls. * Tests trying to launch them will fail anywhere else than on the phone as it most likely ends up in chrome instead of spawning the application. I think the solution is to emit activateApplication in unity-scopes- shell with only the short-appid as parameter, and add support for the short-appid in unity's ApplicationManager.
