You can revoke using deleteObjectAce instead of updating :

$user = $em->getRepository('VendorBundle:User')->find($id); 

$aclProvider = $this->get('security.acl.provider');
    $objectIdentity = ObjectIdentity::fromDomainObject($entity);

$acl = $aclProvider->findAcl($objectIdentity);
$aces = $acl->getObjectAces();

$securityIdentity = UserSecurityIdentity::fromAccount($user);

foreach($aces as $index=>$ace)
{
    if($ace->getSecurityIdentity() == $securityIdentity)
    {
    $acl->deleteObjectAce($index);
    }
}

$aclProvider->updateAcl($acl);

I had to change the function "addMask" to the following function, or else i would get an error when I tried to change the permissions of an existing ACE.

protected function addMask($securityIdentity, $mask, $acl)
{
    $updated = false;
    foreach($acl->getObjectAces() as $index=>$ace)
    {
        if($ace->getSecurityIdentity() == $securityIdentity)
        {
            $acl->updateObjectAce($index, $mask, null);
            $updated = true;
        }
    }
    if(!$updated)
    {
        $acl->insertObjectAce($securityIdentity, $mask);
    }
    $this->provider->updateAcl($acl);
    return $this;
}

What if I also want to delete the object identity object when deleting my domain object? How to do that?

Do you have an example how to add ACE for class scopes as defined here : http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/security/acl_advanced.html

I could able to store the ACE but its not reflecting on permission.

Function to delete ACL entity from database

     *
     * @param $entity
     * @return $this
     * @throws \Symfony\Component\Security\Acl\Exception\InvalidDomainObjectException
     */
    public function clean($entity)
    {
        $objectIdentity = ObjectIdentity::fromDomainObject($entity);
        $this->provider->deleteAcl($objectIdentity);

        return $this;
    }
