While we could have implemented this already a while ago, this would have been a completely false security mechanism since we had no way of reliably identifying applications. Since now with xdg-app, we can at least reliably identify bundled applications, let's give users a choice of which applications in particular they are OK with giving location data to. While we still can't reliably identify system (non-xdg-app) applications, it seems extremely unlikely we'll ever be able to do that (at least not in the near future) so we'll have to trust them to not lie about their IDs. Next release of geoclue will take the ID of bundled application directly from corresponding xdg-app metadata so bundled applications can't simply lie about their IDs. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=762119
