Exporting an Interface

[Florence Chan]

Hey Aleksander,

Previously you mentioned the g_dbus_interface_skeleton_export() method to
export my SIM interface, which I've been attempting to use. However I've
been running with some issues with it. Currently I call this in my
mm_iface_sim_eap_initialize method, like so:
g_dbus_interface_skeleton_export (G_DBUS_INTERFACE_SKELETON (self),
                                  connection,
                                  path,
                                  &error)
self is a pointer to my interface The connection and path are properties
are the base sim's connection and path, retrieved like this:
  g_object_get (MM_BASE_SIM(self),
                MM_BASE_SIM_CONNECTION, &connection,
                MM_BASE_SIM_PATH,       &path,
                NULL);
>From the debug statements the connection is non-null, the path matches with
the base sim's path, and a skeleton for my interface was created
successfully (and overridden accordingly in the base sim class)

However looking at my debug statements my interface fails to be exported
, and error->message and error->code were (NULL) and 0 respectively, so I
am unsure of what the issue is here. Do you know how to fix this?

Thank you for the time and help!
- Florence
