922210 - Can't interact with LOQUI app on Simulator only (works on device)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(DevTools Graveyard :: WebIDE, defect, P1)

Description

[J. Ryan Stinnett [:jryans] (Use needinfo, replies may be slow)]

If you add the LOQUI app to the 1.2 Simulator, you get stuck on the Welcome screen and clicking to go to the next page does nothing.  The app works fine on device.

I am concerned this may be due to the Simulator's handling of events, and other apps may encounter similar issues.

Could it be related to bug 921531 comment 3?

I don't believe it is related to that.  I tested it again on an earlier build of the Simulator 6.0 (Fx OS 1.2) add-on from 2013-09-23, which is before the change in bug 921531, and I still see the issue.

However, the issue is *not* present in Simulator 5.0 (Fx OS 1.1), so either it's a change in Fx OS 1.2 or something to do with the way Simulator 6 is packaged together.

I just release the first "nightly" for 1.3:
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/labs/fxos-simulator/1.3/
And it does work on this version.
I think it is broken before of bug 925199. And should be fixed on 1.2 as soon as this bug is uplifted.

It looks like the framework being used by Loqui, i.e. Lungo, expects touch events for UI events and so ignores the click on the welcome screen.

That issue should be fixed with a recent simulator build, please reopen if that still fails.
