On my HTC One (Android 2.3), I get a standard no-icon green Android icon for the installed web-application.

Testing the same on my LG Nexus 4 (Android 4.4.2), it doesn't seem to have this issue.

Will do!


jhugman: do you have a 2.3 device you can use to reproduce and investigate this bug?

Still reproducible.

Martyn & James: do either of you have a 2.3 device you can use to reproduce and investigate this bug?

[Martyn Haigh (:mhaigh)]

I do have a 2.3 device but I'm in the US and as such don't have the device with me.  I'll have access after the 21st.  Maybe someone else in the MV or SF office will have access to one?

Tested on HTC Desire HD (Android 2.3.5), the issue is reproducing. I've attached the logcat. Please ask for more info or further investigation if needed.

I wonder if this is the same as bug 982814.

Comment 9

[James Hugman [:jhugman] [@jhugman]]

This is occurring on the Nexus One (Gingerbread) and the Nexus 7 (KitKat).

The fix is to ensure that there is always a drawable-hdpi asset available.

I left some questions and feedback in the PR.

Comment 13

[Myk Melez [:myk] [@mykmelez]]

jhugman: the PR can't be merged anymore.  Can you update it?  (And respond to ozten's questions and feedback, if you haven't already!)

Per bug 1235869, we're going to disable the Android web runtime, so we won't fix this bug in it.

(This is part of a bulk resolution of bugs in the Firefox for Android::Web Apps component, from which I attempted to exclude bugs that are not specific to the runtime, but it's possible that I included one accidentally.  If so, I'm sorry, and please reopen the bug!)
