631273 - Updating from 1.1 to 1.1.1b2 logs into a different account

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Cloud Services Graveyard :: Firefox Home, defect)

Description

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

Attachment: switch accounts log

from the summary, i may have 2 copies of FF home installed on my itouch 3.1.3.  however, the screen only shows one copy installed.   So unsure how these steps are possible, but it really happened.

Log attached.

Repro: (via irc)

tchung: st3fan: saw something strange when updateing Home from 1.1 to 1.1.1b2
[09:46am] st3fan: uhoh
[09:46am] tchung: my account switched and logged in from one to another after the update
[09:46am] tchung: wtf magic is that
[09:47am] st3fan: that is not possible
[09:47am] st3fan: maybe you have two copies on your ipod?
[09:47am] tchung: as far as what i can see on the screen, there's only one home shown
[09:48am] tchung: i have been removing and installing from appstore and ftp
[09:48am] tchung: how can i have 2 copies running?
[09:48am] st3fan: no not running, installed
[09:48am] st3fan: hm odd
[09:49am] st3fan: well, file a bug 
[09:49am] st3fan: as detailed as possible, with logs if you have them
[09:49am] tchung: sure
[09:53am] tchung: st3fan: so one fishy step i did
[09:53am] st3fan: aha!
[09:53am] tchung: was log into 1.1.1b2, then exit
[09:53am] tchung: then i launched app store, and installed 1.1 from there, and it was successful it says
[09:53am] st3fan: there is a good change that the app store and ad-hoc versions use different keychains
[09:54am] st3fan: the keychain is connected to the certificate that signed the app i think
[09:54am] st3fan: so it is very possible that you had two logins on file
[09:54am] tchung: but i deleted the app after it said success, cause version still showed 1.1.1b2 even though i installed from app store
[09:55am] tchung: i reinstalled from app store after deleting, and it was 1.1 again.  logged into a different account this time, and sync'd
[09:55am] tchung: and then lastly applied adhoc version back on top of 1.1
[09:56am] tchung: once i launched the new install, it showed the first account info
[09:56am] tchung: i'll add this to the bug

Expected:
- no way to have multiple logins.  let me know if you want the test accounts included in this bug.
