This is also reproducible for http://people.mozilla.com/~fdesre/openwebapps/test.html (http://bit.ly/KKHgPu). Has anything changed on the API side of things - Fabrice, Jason?

I just observed that the apps were installed , but they are visible only after restarting the emulator.

I think that we can keep the bug for tracking this issue.

Please note that the issue from comment #2 is reproducible when installing packaged apps directly from MP app installed on FF OS.

When tried to install from browser using http://people.mozilla.com/~fdesre/openwebapps/test.html nothing happened(no app installed even after restarting the emulator).

When signing and signature verification lands, I would expect this not to work assuming this test app isn't signed.

Aside: Is there a way to test apps without signing -- a pref setting or anything?

That's expected, I modified this one to test install error cases.... 

If you see the app after "rebooting", this means that the gecko side went ok, and that something failed in gaia during install.

So I'm confused what the problem here is. Fabrice's comment implies he modified the test page to test an error case, which implies that this isn't a bug. What's the bug here, if any?

Comment 7

[Victor Carciu]

The bug is that after installing an app you can see it only after "rebooting" as Fabrice said in comment #5.

Ah okay. Smells like a dup then!
