994984 - sideloaded/directly-installed APKs show wrong splash screen color on firstrun

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Web Apps (PWAs), defect, P3)

Description

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

On firstrun of an app that isn't yet allocated/registered (from an APK that was sideloaded or otherwise "directly" installed without using the mozApps API), WebappImpl.onCreate calls InstallHelper.startInstall to allocate/register the app—which includes calculating its splash screen background color—after it displays the splash screen, resulting in a light gray (white?) splash screen.

The color calculation should happen before the splash screen is displayed, so the splash screen displays the correct color on firstrun, just as it does on subsequent runs.

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!)
