723377 - Cannot install Blossom app on apps-preview when apps extension is not installed on Firefox 10

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Web Apps :: General, defect)

Description

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Steps:

1. Go to apps-preview.mozilla.org
2. Install Blossom

Expected:

The application should be installed on myapps.mozillalabs.com.

Actual:

A network error is thrown indicating that the network manifest cannot be found.

Additional Notes:

This network error is only thrown if the apps extension is not installed. When the apps extension is installed, and I go to install the Blossom app, the application installs on myapps.mozillalabs.com successfully. Thus, the behavior is inconsistent when the extension is and isn't installed to the myapps.mozillalabs.com dashboard.

Network error specifically is:

App host could not be reached
couldn't retrieve application manifest from network

Error console only prints the following:

apps-preview.mozilla.org: server does not support RFC 5746, see CVE-2009-3555

Same error appears on mobile, so its platform dependent.   Either an AMO issue or the app is uploaded incorrectly?

Comment 3

[Tony Chung [:tchung]]

This concerns me, because if it only works with the Firefox extension installed, (see comment 1), then this will always break on mobile since Fennec nor Soup calls for the extension.

Happens on Google Chrome for Desktop also.

I wonder if our manifest fetcher is acting weird? Or if there's some HTTP/HTTPS mismatch?

Seeing this issue also with the Soundcloud application.

Is this a MozApps API bug? If it is, migrate this bug to Core --> DOM/Mozilla Extensions.

Comment 8

[Ian Bicking (:ianbicking)]

I think this should be re-confirmed

Comment 9

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Flagging as qawanted. Likely, either David Clarke, me, or Aaron Train could reconfirm that this bug still exists.

Is Blossom hosted somewhere else now? I havn't seen this on any other app so far with marketplace-dev.allizom.org

https://apps.mozillalabs.com/appdir/?db=db/apps-preview.json - Name of it is "blossom - Lean Product Management."

On FF 11 clicking install reports a network error.

On Nightly I'm getting a DOMError reported.

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Desktop Firefox Nightly to be specific for comment 12.

Manifest hosted as of today is the following:

{"developer": {"url": "https://www.blossom.io/about.html", "name": "blossom io limited"}, "installs_allowed_from": ["https://appstore.mozillalabs.com", "https://apps-preview.mozilla.org", "https://marketplace.mozilla.org"], "version": "1.0", "description": "Building awesome stuff can be a real challenge. Blossom helps you to stay lean & productive.", "name": "blossom - Lean Product Management"}

Looking at the manifest, it looks like we cannot test on that server (it's not allowed from our test server). We will need either the partner to allow it off of some server location or talk to Krupa to see if we can direct link off of marketplace production to test install of this application.
