I'm building a little chess-problem app for firefoxOS.
(https://github.com/buzzdecafe/kinghunt). I want to make it a packaged app so
you can always use it offline.
I am running into two problems.
First, installing:
My zipfile passes validation here:
https://marketplace.firefox.com/developers/validator
But when I try to install on the phone (from here:
buzzdecafe.github.io/kinghunt/) I get the error:
KingHunt download failed
But in my homescreen, I have an icon labeled Kinghunt; I tap that and it
prompts:
Do you want to download KingHunt?
I tap "Download" and ...
KingHunt download stopped.
I am new to this platform, and I am not seeing where I went wrong on this. Any
guidance is much appreciated.
Second, the simulator is choking on something in this app:
I can load and run the app from a web server using Firefox the *web browser* on
the desktop or on the ZTE Open or through the simulator. I can also install the
app on the simulator. The simulator reports:
KingHuntPackaged App
Last updated: just now
Open Location /home/mike/dev/kinghunt/manifest.webapp
Validation Result: OK
Then I can view the index page (#/load), and I can view the about page
(#/about), but when I try to open the board page (#/board), it bombs. The error:
The address wan't understood
Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol
(unsafe) isn't associated with any program.
This looks to my untrained eye like a security violation; but I have no idea
what constraint I have violated or how to work around it. The URL I am trying
to access is something like:
#/board/4
Note that #/ and #/about and #/load all load just fine.
Sorry for the long post, I'm a bit stuck. I appreciate any support. Thanks
-mike
