942101 - mobile package doesn't work on firefox mobile

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Add-on SDK Graveyard :: General, defect)

Description

[shweta.universidad]

Attachment: sync-share.xpi This is the xpi file I install on the firefox for mobile and does nothing.c

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux i686; rv:25.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/25.0 (Beta/Release)
Build ID: 20131028113246

Steps to reproduce:

Hello,

I followed the steps in :

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/latest/dev-guide/tutorials/mobile.html

to run the command:

> cfx run -a fennec-on-device -b /path/to/adb --mobile-app fennec --force-mobile

With this command, the addon works well on the firefox for mobile. Later I follow the steps to make a mobile package of the addon and on the firefox mobile it shows me the message that the addon was installed correctly but it doesn't work like it worked when I ran the addon with the cfx command. Why is it not working?



Actual results:

It works with the cfx run command but with the .xpi it doesn't work. In the about:addons page, it shows that the addon is installed but nothing of its features works as it worked with this command:

> cfx run -a fennec-on-device -b /path/to/adb --mobile-app fennec --force-mobile




Expected results:

IT should have worked like when it worked with the cfx run command.

I correct myself, the cfx run command I am using is (as  am using firefox and not fennec):

> cfx run -a fennec-on-device -b /path/to/adb --mobile-app firefox --force-mobile

Support issues like these are best asked on our mailing list (https://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mobile-firefox-dev) and or on IRC (irc.mozilla.org #mobile) and not in bugs in Bugzilla.

For jetpack addon issues https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/mozilla-labs-jetpack or https://forums.mozilla.org/addons/viewforum.php?f=27 would be better than mobile specific ones.

Are you trying to install your .xpi from an SD card?

Yeah, thanks! Already has fugured it out. I installed the .xpi file by a http url and worked fine but now I am having another more bigger problema. The firefox for mobile crashes everytime I try to run an app( a simple one, for example to open a tab) with the cfx run command and nothing works!!!
