I thought Notes was unconfined... (I thought all core apps would be), but it seems not to (apparmor)

It also needs to specify an account-qml-plugin that I think is how the app (Notes in this case) authorize the provider:

https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-notes-app/-/blob/main/manifest.json.in?ref_type=heads#L15

the qml file is:

https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-notes-app/-/blob/main/src/account-plugin/qml/evernote/Main.qml.in?ref_type=heads

PS: I'm still confused with the different hooks and different apparmors...

I was thinking in adding a new service Provider that is not in the system.

Maybe here:

ah, ok, apparently notes app is the only app that install providers, services etc... We know that it doesn't work anymore, but that gives the idea :

https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-notes-app/-/blob/main/src/account-plugin/data/providers/evernote.provider.in?ref_type=heads

The provider and service are stored under ~/.local/share/accounts, it is done by the click hook that we can see here:
https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-notes-app/-/blob/main/manifest.json.in?ref_type=heads#L14

For an app to declare the usage of a service, it has to be declared like this : https://gitlab.com/ubports/development/apps/lomiri-notes-app/-/blob/main/notes.ubports_notes.application?ref_type=heads

Hope that helps

From old documentation:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/Specifications/OnlineAccountsConfinement

https://phone.docs.ubuntu.com/en/platform/guides/online-accounts-developer-guide

And it requires an apparmor template?

It should yes, i think UBsync do that, but seems confined:
