Bug Description

When a webapp has the location permission from AppArmor it should be able to disable the browser showing a dialog to allow getting permission to use the location. The prompt that comes from the location service via trust-store should suffice for this case where the web page is entirely contained within a single AppID (which is what trust-store uses to track permissions).

Do we have the prompt from the trust store already? If/when so, I suppose it’s just a matter of removing the custom prompt in the browser altogether, and always allowing the geolocation request to go through, as apparmor will handle permissions accordingly.

AFAIK it's not there yet, but yes, I think for the webapp case it's
better to use the system prompt (whether it exists or not) to be more
like a standard app.

As of revision 672 of lp:webbrowser-app, webapps will now delegate geolocation permission requests to the trust store.
