974277 - INVALID_MANIFEST on valid manifest

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: DOM: Apps, defect)

Description

[Austin King [:ozten]]

For the following devices, I'm unable to install my app
* Unagi running 1.3
* Geeksphone running 1.2
* FxOS Simulators (1.2 or 1.3)

The install page used is http://ozten.com/random/Roguelike/install.html

On the following tools, I have a valid manifest URL:
* about:app-manager > Apps > Add Hosted App 
* Marketplace Manifest Validator - https://marketplace.firefox.com/developers/validator

The value used is http://ozten.com/random/Roguelike/manifest.webapp

    $ curl -v http://ozten.com/random/Roguelike/manifest.webapp

            "60": "/random/Roguelike/img/icon/Roguelike60.png",
            "30": "/random/Roguelike/img/icon/Roguelike30.png"
        },
        "orientation": ["landscape"],
        "fullscreen": "true"
    }

Sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

The test page here is incorrect - you are calling navigator.mozApps.installPackage with a webapp manifest, not a mini-manifest.

If I were to guess what's causing the error from the manifest, then I think it's this line below failing:

    "orientation": ["landscape"],

Try using "orientation": "landscape" instead here.

I'll try to create a mini-manifest.

Update:

Using https://marketplace.firefox.com/developers/test/receipts/ the manifest does install on:
* Unagi with 1.3
* FxOS Simulator 1.2

I put in http://ozten.com/random/Roguelike/manifest.webapp and click 'install'.
This causes the app to be installed, unlike my install.html page.

Is this more of a documentation bug?

I was following https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Apps.install
which says 

    window.navigator.mozApps.install(url, [receipts]);
     url - A string URL containing the location of the manifest to be installed.

I can only find the term mini-manifest in relation to packaged apps. This is a hosted app.

Thanks again!

Okay - sounds like we've cleared up the confusion. Feel free to update the docs if you think they aren't clear - install is meant for hosted apps, installPackage is meant for packaged apps.
