Description

[Aaron Train [:aaronmt]]

{
  "name" : "Test No Icon",
  "version" : "1.1",
  "size" : 11000,
  "release_notes": "First v1.1 release",
  "developer": {
    "name": "Mozilla QA",
    "url": "http://jasondanielsmith.wordpress.com/"
  },
  "package_path": "/webapi-permissions-tests/invalidmanifest.zip"
}

Contents of invalidmanifest.zip has a manifest.webapp with the contents: 'I do not work as I am not a valid manifest'

This fails to install in Firefox OS but installs in Firefox for Android.

STR: http://mozqa.com/webapi-permissions-tests/, install 'Packaged App Test Case 11'

E/GeckoConsole(26160): [JavaScript Error: "TypeError: request.result.manifest is undefined" {file: "http://mozqa.com/webapi-permissions-tests/apps.js" line: 19}]

E/GeckoConsole(26160): [JavaScript Error: "Error while reading package:SyntaxError: JSON.parse: unexpected character" {file: "resource://gre/modules/Webapps.jsm" line: 2042}]

This ends up installing to the about:apps dashboard with a dead application that doesn't launch. There is no Android notification nor short-cut created.
