Something weird seems to happen under some set of conditions to my current app (LIFX LAN protocol support for HE).
This has been noticed both by myself and a tester: Under some circumstance the app seems to disappear from the Apps page - it's not 100% clear yet whether the app is still loaded in memory. Unfortunately, so far, it's only occurred one for each of us
My question is: Are there any known causes for an app to disappear without its uninstalled() method being called. Anything I should look out for?
In case it's important the app creates several child devices, which in turn depend upon the app for common code.
Are there certain functions that should never be allowed to throw exceptions?
Would this be a parent-child app? I observed the same thing on Saturday and reported it to support on Sunday. In my case the child app was present and functional, could be reached by direct URL, but was not associated with the parent app, nor was it able to call any functions in the parent.
I wound up deleting and re-creating. We'll see how long it holds.
I may have worked out what was happening here - forgetting to hit the Done button!
At least that's what happened for me. It was definitely still loaded in memory, and functional (the code being used by the child devices), but no way to reach it.
Sorry to revive an old thread, but I'm seeing the same disappearing app problem with the Better Laundry Monitor app. Just mentioning it here since it's the only place it seems to be mentioned.
BLM is also a parent/child app. I had a working instance, and when I went to add a second instance, I noticed the app wasn't there. I assumed I had accidentally deleted it, so I recreated the original child, plus the second child app I needed. Now those two additional instances are missing (along with the parent), but I still get notifications from all three child apps. Firmware 2.0.8.113
I'll report it to support, but mentioning it here for future reference in case others have the problem with other apps.
