Actually, after investigating the situation (though unfortunately, I failed to reproduce this bug), I'm not sure that we should cahnge something in Online Accounts here. The authorisation prompt does not appear automatically: it only appears when a client invokes the exec() method of the OnlineAccountsClient::Setup object (or the QML equivalent). When online-accounts-service receives such a request, it either initiates the account creation (if there isn't yet an account of such type) or prompts the user to grant access to the existing account.
What I believe is happening here, is that for some reason the client is making the account request twice: the first time, we start the account creation; the second time, the prompt is shown. I will still keep the bug active, because we might want to be more robust and handle bogus requests more gracefully, but I think we have to first find out why we are getting to requests in the first place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-system-settings- online-accounts in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1582824 Title: Pointless access request prompt Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in webapps-sprint: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-system-settings-online-accounts package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In attempting to test for bug #1582804 on my mako with updated rc- proposed image 441, immediately after logging in to the U1 account after tapping on the '$2.99' button for 'Cut the Rope', I was presented with the screen shown in the attached screenshot (e-mail address removed in screenshot). There is no reason this dialog should ever appear for the U1 account, and choosing either option is irrelevant to whether the account can be used by the scope. Choosing to not allow simply acts as cancelling the current in-progress action, returning the user to the app preview. However, immediately tapping on the '$2.99' button again will work just fine, and the payment UI will be presented.
