820199 - The Outliner App says invalid manifest but seems to be valid

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 819103

(Firefox Graveyard :: Web Apps, defect)

Description

[Andrew Williamson [:eviljeff]]

I can't see anything obviiously wrong with The Outliner app's manifest but Firefox reports its invalid.

    {
    "name": "The Outliner of Giants",
    "default_locale": "en",
    "icons": {
    "128": "https://theoutlinerofgiants.appspot.com/img/128.png"
    },
    "description": "A full-featured outliner for the creation of reports, dissertations, or simply as a tool for organising your thoughts and ideas.",
    "version": "1",
    "launch_path": "/outlines",
    "type": "web",
    "developer": {
    "url": "http://theoutlinerofgiants.appspot.com/",
    "name": "The Outliner of Giants"
    }
    }

It installs and launches on firefox 19.0a1 on Mac OS X just fine for me. Which version of Firefox are you using?

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

Can't reproduce on Win 7 64-bit.

Comment 5

[Andrew Williamson [:eviljeff]]

This was reported in a review (so its not just me!), and I consistently can reproduce on both Aurora and Beta.  Any ideas for tracking down the issue?

Comment 6

[Andrew Williamson [:eviljeff]]

its installing in Nightly so this is possibly a dupe of bug 819103

Comment 7

[Matt Basta [:basta]]

Yes, the error is identical.
