We are developing a new Tizen Web App for one of our products. It was working all well until last week to the moment, we updated our TV.
Now our TV is running on Samsung Software "1422" - and the App is not installable anymore. This seems promising for the future of tizen developement, good job samsung :-P
Now we updated everything in our SDK to the latest version 2.4 - and we've rebuilt the application with all the new tools.
It is still not working. We totally don't understand - nothing changed on the App. I can still build everything with 2.4.
But even with the Emulator of Release 2.4 it is not working anymore - i don't get an error or anything when i start it with the IDE - but i just never see the actual App running in the emulator. The emulator stays just empty for the whole time (that was not the case on Release 2.1).
It is.. kind of sad.. i don't know - the Tizen Documentation looks great on first sight (https://developer.tizen.org). But don't digg deep! There is no info about installation, no info about example Apps (only screenshots, lol). No info about compatible TV's/Firmwares.. No info how the remote connect should work - or why it's not working...
Tizen is just a huge blackbox to me where you're lucky when everything just works - and where things get real nasty real quick when it is not working one time..
Was anybody lucky with this stuff so far?
Ah yeah the install process we were using so far -> get a USB Stick -> make a folder "userwidget" on it -> place your "App.wgt" inside it. Put the stick in the TV, it will install it automatically. Now, nothing happens anymore.
On TV Firmware 1422 it does not work with the pendrive. I had the same issue, I find an answer here: http://www.samsungdforum.com/TizenGuide/tizen3511/index.html
But before doing what the tutorial says, you need to login with developer account. Go in the menu, smart hub, samsung account, login. The user (login) is 'develop' and the password is empty.
It is not necessary to do the Set Security Profile that the tutorial shows.
It is working fine to me after doing all the tutorial steps.
