Please be specific about what does and doesn't work, and file bugs if you find them. While this list is good for general discussion, complaints will easily get lost in all the noise, especially when others can't recreate the same issue, and beyond simply trying to install the same app, there isn't much we can do, with only vague complaints of "it doesn't work" to go by. You need to specify what exactly doesn't work, preferably in a bug report on Launchpad. > Some weeks ago, I built a sip-phone - Twinkle.

What do you mean by testing not being allowed? Where did you submit it to? What policy about not allowing installation? You can install anything you want on your device, but depending on how you try to do it, it can break the device (result in ghost installs that consume space on the read-only partition). What is preventing you from installing your app? How are you packaging your app? All of this information (and probably more) is needed to be able to help you. > My apologies if this seems to be turning into a rant. Frustration understood, but please understand how frustrating it is for us as well, when vague rants like this are made, which don't contain enough information to provide any useful help. Help us help you better by providing as much information as possible, when you have a complaint like this. :)
