Sun Sep 28 16:12:37 2014 GMT: HikingMaps 0.6
HikingMaps has now reached version 0.6, mainly just after cleaning up the user interface. This version should now also properly work on desktop Firefox - basically, I just had to make sure to not go down the MozActivity route for file handling there, but just use the browser-based file handling support.
BTW, what seems to be a bit annoying in the Firefox Marketplace is that it lists popular apps first - this means that people will, of course, first try the more popular apps before trying less popular ones, making popular apps more popular... And there doesn't appear to be much that can be done to break that cycle.

Just returned from a week's holiday in Salzburg with perfect weather during the week. Managed to do a bit of walking on the Untersberg (see part 1 and part 2) and Schlenken/Schmittenstein.
Sun Sep 14 15:47:23 2014 GMT: Lack of Marketplace App Updates on ZTE Open C
Some time ago I was wondering why I never got any updated of applications installed from the Firefox Marketplace (including my own HikingMaps application) and raised in on Mozilla's support forum here (which is also tracked in this bugzilla entry).
It looks like ZTE have replaced the standard update mechanism with their own update tool. However, that update tool only appears to care about system updates, resulting in Marketplace apps to not be updated at all.
Investigating the issue in a bit more detail I have now written a small CheckUpdate app that should trigger a manual update check and at least on my phone this seems to have done the trick - I immediately got a notification about 7 updates being available. I am now just waiting for feedback to see if it solves the problem for others as well...
