packaged webapp won't show main page on both beta and fennec nightly

more options

i'm trying to install a webapp from http://www.unixmedia.it/webapp/ following the docs.

The webapp consist in just an "hello world" where i have a single page app and lauch_path to /index.html

trying to download the app by wget https://controller.apk.firefox.com/application.apk?manifestUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.unixmedia.net%2Fwebapp%2Fpackage.manifest -O myapp.apk seems to work, unzipping the apk i can see the right files included in /res/raw/application.zip, and the app is correctly installed in android.

When i launch the app, both with fennec and firefox beta, the app starts up, i can see the splashscreen with the logo image, and then a white screen appears and nothing more.

I don't see any relevant error using adb logcat

Hi,

I understand that you are installing a web app with the synthetic apk and all that is showing up is the icon and not the hello world message.

The packaged app is wrapped in a Android java pack, my question is how is the hello world implemented?

If you need more help please see the irc marketplace channel or email the marketplace mailing list for more specific help. https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-marketplace

The hello world is implemented just as linked source, following the docs about packaged apps.

And no, i don't intend to submit my app to the marketplace, i intend to distribute the app on my own web site

The source for the app ( it was linked in another thread ) is:

http://www.unixmedia.net/webapp/package.zip

This is the mini-manifest: http://www.unixmedia.net/webapp/package.manifest
