Public bug reported: If an application has instantiated a main loop (E.g. In a Qt app via "new QCoreApplication()") but does not actually run that main loop, instantiating an OnlineAccountClient hangs.
This was picked up when OnlineAccountClient was used from a scope that instantiated a QCoreApplication in order to execute QEventLoops elsewhere in the code, but did not actually use the application event loop. ** Affects: unity-scopes-api (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Marcus Tomlinson (marcustomlinson) Status: In Progress ** Tags: rtm14 ** Branch linked: lp:~marcustomlinson/unity-scopes-api/fix_ui_policy ** Tags added: rtm14 ** Changed in: unity-scopes-api (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Marcus Tomlinson (marcustomlinson) ** Changed in: unity-scopes-api (Ubuntu) Status: New => In Progress ** Description changed: - If an application has instantiated a main loop (E.g.
