core-apps dev - help get started
-
ok, last marius commit seems to fix the problem. now would like to know , by launching this new binary on my device, will it erase any datas or can conflict with existing messaging-app ? ( my device is my daily driver ) if so what will be the consequences ?
-
so i just notice that messaging-app is a system app not a core app, so i guess any updates comes with OTA, am i right ?
see list of core and system apps:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/CoreApps -
I think @Flohack must know this
-
We should be able to update also system apps with the Openstore but I will check back. Data will be kept after updates normally.
-
@flohack ok, just to confirm, by deploying messaging-app binary to my device, and launching it, it will not cause any damage to existing messaging app and datas ?
-
@lduboeuf How are you doing this?

This post is deleted! -
@flohack sorry i missed the context of the question. I've deleted my previous reply.
I've just copied messaging-app built from github source to the device and make a.desktop
pointing to the binary.
The app crash on the device, but did not try to see why. -
@lduboeuf Hmm I think you need to build a click at least. Than this needs to be installed with the OS tool, not just called as a binary. The packaging sets some paths right, and gives the right environment.
