Web App generator

I haven't yet managed to get a working environment on my Ubuntu 16.10 system for compiling click apps. I used to have it working with the Ubuntu SDK, but that was a while ago. I tried to install clickable from the instructions in the wiki, but got stuck on some errors that I didn't manage to resolve.

The webpage that Cannonical had was ok, so if there is someone that can replicate their page, It would be great.
At this moment, I am verry happy, that at least this script exists, so we have a possibility to easily generate webapps.

So first time I tried the webabb generator
Unfortunately without access

Can maybe someone tell me what I have done wrong:

1. I downloaded and unzipped https://github.com/Winael/ubuntu/blob/master/ubuntuphone/webapps/Reboot/alternate-webapp-generator.zip to my ubuntu 16.04 desktop

2. I made the alternate-webapp-generator.sh file executable

3. I edited the config.cfg

   # config.cfg
   export namespace="BastosNamespace"
   export app_name="xxAppname"
   export app_title="xxAppTitle"
   export app_url="http://xx.de"
   export app_description="A webapp client for xx.de."
   export app_UA="Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 5.0; Nexus 5) AppleWebkit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/38.0.2125.102 Mobile Safari/537.36"
   export app_version="0.1"
   export maintainer_name="xxx"
   export maintainer_email="xxx@gallehr.de"
   export icon_path="/home/xxx/xxx.png"
   

4. In terminal I cd to the right folder and run . alternate-webapp-generator.sh

5. Everything went with success, I get a .click file created

6. I copied the .click file to my phone

7. With UT Tweak Tool I installed the .click with sucess

BUT unfortunately the webapp doesnt show up at my apps even not after restart.

Hi.

Just a stupid question. From what I see from your dummy config file.
Are you sure icon_path is OK? Maybe you forgot the username after /home/ ?

@Vehi_MV said in Web App generator:

Maybe you forgot the username after /home/

Thanks. Yes you are right, i used the dummy xxx also for path. I correct it...

[Bastos]

Did you mean: Bonjour à tous, J'ai essayé "webcam creator" pour créer "20 ln France" mais l'icon n'affiche pas la photo

@Locamama Hi! Did you select a PNG or SVG Icon?

[Locamama]

@Jujuyeh
Je selectionne jpeg
I select jpeg

[Jujuyeh]

@Locamama JPG files are not supported, try converting the image to PNG or use another PNG or SVG file that fits with your WebApp

Does this webapp generators support CSS and JS injection?

[Bastos]

Hy together again.
The alternate-webapp-generator.sh worked really good for me for 15.04 issues. What do you think, will this also work for 16.04?

@C0n57an71n Please don't respond to very old threads with a new request. This one is nearly 2 years old. You are far better asking a new question in the appropriate forum section, probably Support in this case.
Also just ask the question don't ask for a specific person to answer, unless you are responding to something they specifically posted. I am going to lock this thread now .Thanks.
