Content[scrcpy-runtime-2404] auto-connection request for the scrcpy snap

[Lin-Buo-Ren]

• name: scrcpy
• description: Utility for mirroring Android device’s screen to the computer, among with other functionalities.
• snapcraft: https://github.com/sisco311/scrcpy-snap/blob/master/snap/snapcraft.yaml
• upstream: https://github.com/Genymobile/scrcpy
• upstream-relation: No endorsement, but we are in contact.
• interfaces:
  • content[scrcpy-runtime-2404]:
    • request-type: auto-connection
    • reasoning: I plan to split the runtime into an individual content snap so that it can be shared by all scrcpy-related applications(including scrcpy itself). Granting auto-connection is necessary to avoid breaking existing ~30K users’ workflow(this snap’s publisher is not me(I’m a collaborator) thus auto-connection will not work by default).

The expected content interface contract would be:

plugs:
  scrcpy-runtime-2404:
    interface: content
    target: scrcpy-runtime
    default-provider: scrcpy-runtime-2404

You are now actively maintaining scrcpy snap, so I think this is perfectly fine. +1 from me for granting scrcpy auto-connection to the requested content interface (#voteFor)
