315322 - Extension developers should be able to see what min/maxAppVersions AMO finds acceptable.

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 274862

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Developer Pages, enhancement)

Description

[Robert William Vesterman]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051025 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051025 Firefox/1.5

AMO automatically rejects extensions when it does not think that the min/maxAppVersion is valid.  However, it does not tell the developer what min/maxAppVersions it would find acceptable.

This leads to a frustrating guessing game over something which should be entirely trivial.

There should be a page explicitly listing all app versions that AMO finds acceptable (both internal name and external name - e.g. to get AMO to accept an extension for Firefox 1.5 Beta 2, you had to use "1.4.1"; to get it to accept one for Firefox 1.5 RC 1, you have to use "1.5.0.*".

Moreover, this information should also be displayed (or at least linked to) on the page that says that your extension was automatically rejected.

Reproducible: Always
