[UT] App ID needed?

[cibersheep]

I need to verify if this parameter is still needed but it might make life easier :)

By memory, I think --app-id=[appname.appdev] is needed to handle .cache and .local files accordantly

https://docs.ubports.com/en/latest/appdev/webapp/guide.html#command-line-arguments

Mhm, you have set up the app name as "ubports-little-webapp"

https://github.com/kiwix/kiwix-js/blob/master/ubuntu_touch/manifest.json#L10

Maybe this can be address in the future:

• the webapp is not from UBports (the foundation) so it shouldn't be in the app id
• more conventional app id should be something like kiwix.kiwixteam for example. Changing this will break compatibility from older app versions (and may need to be published as a 'new' app in the Open Store

Confirmed, the cache files are stored under ~/.cache/kiwix but the manifest is specifies ubports-little-webapp
this might cause the app loos the cache files on restart

I have updated the manisfest: #827

but I think the name parameter needs to be updated to name.organisation format. This might be not needed and will make OpenStore force to create a "new app" due to the change of the name.

Do you want me to update or wait?

The problem of a "new app" is that previous users will not automatically be upgraded.
As we currently have a regression that needs to be fixed, I would hold this update for now, and discuss it later

Perfect. Thank you
