apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

The development of apps.formeego.org is nearing the point where we want to go to public tests. We would like to ask developers to submit their apps.

Apps will fetch all metadata for your package from OBS, so we ask you to already prepare your package in OBS according to Apps Packaging guidelines. We ask developers to add screenshots, icons and a proper description to their package in OBS.

We are ready to start beta testing the submit process for MeeGo:1.2:Harmattan:Apps:Testing.

A quick overview listed in the wiki here: http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_Apps/Submit

If you would like to help test the Community QA process then look here: http://wiki.meego.com/MeeGo_Apps/Community_QA

On this page we have also listed urls to current version of the Apps client and the Apps Testing repository enabler.

Keep in mind that we are still in testing mode, it might not be smooth sailing all the way.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask here or ping me in #harmattan (X-Fade)

Hello ,
I can't install the client application on my N9 . It says " Installation interrupted"

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

Did you click on the downloaded file multiple times or perhaps clicked on 'cancel'? It installs fine on several devices I have tried. Another possibility could be that the download file is corrupted somehow?

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

yep , my downloaded file was corrupted . I downloaded a new file and it worked . Thank you . Hope to see more apps in the repo soon :)
What is the One Click app with the green icon . I clicked on the icon but no thing happened

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

Well that is up to you :)

That is the part of the client which listens to the ymp mimetype and installs the app when you click on the website. On PR1.0 it is somehow visible, but on PR1.1 it isn't.

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

i got an update of apps for meego today but no new apps :)

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

There should be an "All" category, so that we can see all apps, there is no point to search each category by itself to check out if there is any interesting new applications.

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

Mee too. Where are the apps?

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

"All" category is here

Thanks guys :)

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

almost no developer knows about this Community repository!

I think the thread title should be changed and we need to spread the word to all community developers out there! :)

Edit:
I couldn't download the client aswell, it only downloads till 297kb (even on my laptop...)

Edit2:
after about like 10 times, it downloaded correclty...
Seems like something isn't right with the server...

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

Wow, looks great, fantastic job on the design! :)

Hopefully this will catch on.

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

After installed the testing repo . I can't see any apps from the normal repo . I was trying to install Themechanger but it says " Can't install , installation packages not found"

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

This must be the longest test in the history of mobile phones. I wonder if N9 will still be around when testing ends.

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

We're listening. :)

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

I can't install apps ready for test like this one:
http://apps.formeego.com/staging/app...on/fahrplan2/#

If I try I alway getting a .ymp file. After selecting this from the List of downloaded files I'm gett ing an installation dialog but after a while there comes up the messsage "installation not possible".

How I can test apps? There seem to be users which where able to install the apps ready for community qa.

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

You need to enable the testing settings:
http://repo.apps.formeego.org/harmat..._0.1_armel.deb


Although after installing this, I can't get access to the apps that are already passed the testing...

I have to remove the apps-testing-enabler first to get to the other apps that are already passed the testing...
Why is that so?

Will there be a fix for this (please?!) :(

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

Thanks!

Apps installer client download and installation went fine.

Installed "attitude" -app, that succeeded as well.

I also tried to login from the apps.formeego.org page but that doesn't seem to work (I have a previous meego registration).

Also the installer client is very nice, similar to Nokia store client :)

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

This is a known problem and will be fixed.

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

Thanks. This should be described on the website and in the app itself!

Is there a bugtracker for the site and for the app?

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

Yes, we have a bug tracker at:

https://bugs.meego.com/enter_bug.cgi...mmunity%20Apps

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

...which contained one (1!) bug until I filled a second one. Are you sure that this bugtracker still is in use?

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

I am bumping this thread and seconding HtheB here because I expect more quality applications to appear in the community repository than in tue store (also it is clear in the repos what is free and why, on the other hand most free apps in the store are just there to lure you into the paid version)

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

installed with no problems. this is just great! kudos to the community, theyre already bringing the great things across from the N900!

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

Yes, it is in use. Thanks for reporting one. :)

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

Did anyone succefully install themechanger from testing repo ?

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

It seems there was a bug in the importing process. It should work a lot better now.

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

theme changer now installs and works.. plus theres more apps available already :D

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

Works great for me! Really nice design and I like the way you are able to scroll through the different preview images. A big + is also that it reminds me alot of the Nokia Store! Great job! Now I'm just looking forward to moaar apps!! :)

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

The quality of the screenshots in http://apps.formeego.com as well as in the applications is not very good.
I uploaded screenshots with a resolution of 854x480, how ever on the http://apps.formeego.com website they are rendered down to 250x250.
When you tab onto a screenshot in the client app, the screenshot is scaled up but looks very blurry.

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

Maybe adding the ability to have a bigger screenshot once you tap on the picture would help this kind of issues.

(Putting a "magnifying glass with a + sign on the right down bottom of the screenshots, so people will know that you can zoom in the picture)

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

Having only low resolution screenshots available on apps.formeego.com is one side. But another bug seems to be that the client app seems to scale them up to much. I guess it stretches them to fit in height and therefore cuts the sides of the screenshots.

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

Lol, I just find out that you can actually "zoom" at the screenshot.
As stated 2 posts before, adding a mignifying glass icon at the screenshots as an overlay would be great...

But the zoom is more worse...

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

I 'm trying to download apps from testing repo but it stucks at " Waiting in queue" since half an hour

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

selecting "all apps" shows no apps anymore...

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

We've done some bugfixing and improvements to the apps website. Community QA should work a lot more reliable now.

Help us out by testing apps in the QA queue. This way we will have more tested content available for end-users. Please report any issues you notice.

Screenshot handling improvements are on our todo list. We have the full resolution images, so we can use higher resolutions in the app.

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

X-fade excellent work mate, and to the other guys as well, it is appreciated by all.
Here's to hoping we quickly have something that's just as good (if not better) as the maemo5 community repo.
There's so much angst out there right now about the N9 & Maemo6x...

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

I downloaded the AppsforMeego app and it wont show all the apps that are visible on the site. I only see 4 apps. I can download and install via the website directly but is this a bug with the app that you are aware of?

Thanks

P.s. Trying using the Community QA and I am unable to uncheck/re-check selections.

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

You need to install the testing repo :
http://apps.formeego.org/n9testing

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

Ah, soleil beat me to it :)

Re: apps.formeego.org testing starting
 

I think we can keep this topic at the top to help people recognize the existence of apps.formeego.org repos :)
