707036 - Installing a native app a second time while it's already installed causes it to uninstall

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Web Apps :: Extension, defect)

Description

[Mohamed Dabbagh]

When the user has a native app already installed, if they try to install the app again natively, it will uninstall instead. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch Firefox
2. Install the apps extension - Can be found at http://people.mozilla.com/~dclarke/openwebapps/Extension/ and look for openwebapps-0f53782a9e-12_01_2011.xpi
3. Go to apps.mozillalabs.com/appdir
4. Install an app and choose to install it natively as well (by default in the door-hanger notification) - Notice app is now installed natively
5. Go to myapps.mozillalabs.com and delete the app that you just installed (click and hold on the icon then release when the 'x' appears)
6. Go to apps.mozillalabs.com/appdir (refresh if necessary) and install the same app again natively

Actual Results:
The native app gets uninstalled this time from the user's machine.

Expected Results:
The native app is not uninstalled.

This should be fixed in develop as of this commit:

I believe mdabbagh already verified this

Verified on Windows 7, Vista, XP and Mac 10.7.2 using FF9. Made sure that re-installing an app does not uninstall it. Also made sure that app can be launched after re-installation. Tested with openwebapps-0af54cbc1a-12_09_2011.xpi from http://people.mozilla.com/~dclarke/openwebapps/Extension/.
