861871 - "HERE Maps" not launchable

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia, defect)

Description

[Hubert Figuiere [:hub]]

I have the "HERE Maps" on the launch screen. But it does note even have an icon beside the generic one.

When I want to launch, get a "directory index".

I did |./flash.h| and also |make reset-gaia|. No change.

What build are you running? Custom build? Master? v1-train?

Comment 2

[Hubert Figuiere [:hub]]

v1-train with the code from earlier today. Has been like that for a while though.

Comment 3

[Hubert Figuiere [:hub]]

I also tried by erasing the profile. Still no dice.

I see the same thing in a nexus-s with gaia master and everything else on v1-train. I used to see it when I was using master for everything quite some time ago, when master actually worked on nexus-s.

The symptoms of the problem seem threefold: no icon, no launch page and no geolocation permission request. I believe the issue is that the manifest.webapp from application.zip is not used after installation. I wonder if it is supposed to exist separately from the zip file or be extracted automatically during the build step.

Comment 7

[Jason Smith [:jsmith]]

This is really strange that you are hitting this issue and no one else is.

By design, the manifest.webapp is supposed to exist in the zip archive.

Let me needinfo Fabrice to take a look here.

It could be possible that this only happens on phones that had the hosted version of maps installed, and are then upgraded to now where the packaged version is installed.

That would have to be a very old phone that was being updated though. Probably from December or January?

Not really, I've seen this on both an Unagi and a Nexus S built from v1-train after clearing out/ and objdir-gecko/. This should have removed traces of any hosted version, right?

I tried reflashing, clearing the tree, the profile, everything. Still hasn't fixed the problem.

This is a unagi phone has has been getting builds since November.

Even with a different checkout. Be it master or v1-train.

Comment 11

[Donovan Preston [:fzzzy]]

Strange that it still happens on recent phones. I don't have a suggestion for a fix but I do have a suggestion for a workaround.

Get a local checkout of gaia and remove the external-apps/m.here.com directory from it, then use it to run "make reset-gaia" and install maps from the marketplace. See if this helps.

If I do that, I get an generic icon in the Homescreen. When I tap on it I get asked if I want to download it. Then it does something, but the have never launch. Then I tap again, same thing.

Comment 13

[[:fabrice] Fabrice Desré]

I don't know what you are seeing there, but I'm 100% this does not happen with a clean build, and the only issues we had were when we moved from hosted to packaged in January.

Are these user builds or eng builds?

Also, Jason is correct about the update.webapp manifest : there should be no launch_path and no icons there.

Comment 14

[Hubert Figuiere [:hub]]

Engineering build.

That's the problem. The external apps don't really play nicely on engineering builds. They only really consistently work on production builds.

Comment 16

[Panos Astithas (he/him) [:past] (please ni?)]

This is my nexus-s .userconfig:

export PRODUCTION=1
export DOGFOOD=1
export NOFTU=1
export HIDPI=1
export MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1

And this is my unagi .userconfig (on a different Mac):

export PRODUCTION=1
export DOGFOOD=1
export MOZILLA_OFFICIAL=1
export CC=/usr/local/bin/gcc-4.6

Does that make it a production build?

Wow... I have absolutely no idea what is going on then, sorry :(

That's a serious issue IMHO.

[Hubert Figuiere [:hub]]

I don't see this anymore.
