1044225 - Offline support for the packaged app

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Consumer Pages, defect, P2)

Description

[Andy McKay]

When we are a packaged app, we'll need to detect if we are offline and display a nice error message.

This currently happens in yulelog:

https://github.com/mozilla/fireplace/blob/master/yulelog/main.js#L164-L178

We need to port that over. We'll also need to ensure that the string there is correctly translated so everyone can use it.

Testing notes:

 * Testing will require running the packaged app and turning off a connection to see the message.
 * Also to see the new-look date message, set an old date on the device (no functional changes purely cosmetic).

Dear Stuart,

I download the package from https://marketplace.firefox.com/packaged.webapp, but the version still is 20140422153147, can you tell me where I can download the new app?

Thanks.

The Marketplace package <https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/marketplace/> hasn't been updated since I last published a version on April 22:

    https://marketplace.firefox.com/developers/app/marketplace/status

Gaia <https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/blob/master/apps/marketplace.firefox.com/metadata.json> shows that we are in fact pointing to the correct app <https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/marketplace/>.

I haven't been keeping up with the Marketplace packaged-app process since then. Is it true that the package has not been updated in five months? Wil, can you confirm?

The new package tracking bug is https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=897156 . When that is done we'll release a new package.
