            Bug ID: 255472
           Summary: [GLIB] Use more reliable generated app-ids
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKitGTK
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: pgriffis at igalia.com
                CC: bugs-noreply at webkitgtk.org

In BubblewrapLauncher.cpp we generate a random app-id if we otherwise do not have one. For now this functions fine but there are potential downsides.

It is possible for xdg-desktop-portal to be overwhelmed with new app-ids. It shouldn't be storing anything now but we cannot assert that.
Also if any long-term permissions or state do exist in the future they will constantly be reset.

Patch incoming to resolve this.
