Hello all,
sorry if I raise that issue again - but frankly I get annoyed with
that issue:
Again some apps cannot be installed by just 'activating' them
inside the
'apps' section of an ownCloud-5.0.3 installation. The result is
the unfamous:
"the app cannot be installed because it is not compatible with
this version of
ownCloud".
1.) this is just not true.
2.) the check that leads to this statement does not make sense.
3.) this issue has existed for quite some time now, why is it not
fixed?
I do understand that this issue is not a direct problem for the
"core apps"
developed and bundled by the core team. But if ownCloud really is
meant to
attract a community of developers coding what is called "3rd party
apps" (btw:
why "3rd"?), then such issues must be fixed. The issue has been
addressed many
many times before and it is documented in the issue tracker.
I also do understand that it makes sense to have some means to
block "old"
apps that are really not compatible with newer versions of
ownCloud, since
these might crash the ownCloud core. Although in my eyes this is a
shortcomming of the plugin architecture ownCloud implements for
apps, this is
another issue. The problem at hand is simply the version control
check done -
which blocks many apps from being installed without any reason.
I am getting more and more frustrated having to adapt the
appinfo/info.xml
file for apps every two weeks or so to prevent that apps are being
blocked
again.
- Why is there no announcement that such thing is required? Are
3rd party app
developers meant to sniff that from thin air?
- Why is a change required anyway? I just stumbled over an app
(the imprint
app) that could be installed fine inside OC-5.0.0. Now with
OC-5.0.3 it is
blocked again. Why? Probably there is a reason why something was
changed
again, but that means a change of the app API between two minor
versions -
that is something one does not do. With good reasons. Especially
not without
taking care that some backwards compatibility exists.

PS: and no personal offense meant, really not.
I just try to bring that issue up so that it is recognized as an
urgent issue.
