(Yeah, just discovered this. Couldn't figure out what was happening until on a hunch I enabled android support.)
Issue: Android app cannot be deleted / removed / uninstalled if Android Support is disabled.
Steps to recreate the problem:
- Enable Android Support.
- Install any android app using its .apk package.
- Run and use the android app once or twice and close it.
- Disable Android Support.
- Disable Start Android Support on bootup.
- Restart the phone.
- Scroll to the app icon from the home screen.
- Long press the android app icon until an x appears over the icons.
- Tap on the x on the android app icon.
- The remorse timer appears with the message that it will remove the app.
- After the remorse timer countdowns to zero and disappears, the android app icon remains on the screen.
Resolution:
- Go to Settings and enable Android Support.
- Now repeat step 6 to 8 (from 'Steps to recreate the problem' above).
- This time, after the remorse timer countdowns, the app icon disappears from the home screen indicating thst it has been removed / uninstalled.
Expected Behaviour:
An error message should pop-up and inform the user that an android app cannot be deleted / removed / uninstalled if Android Support is disabled.
Hardware: Jolla 1
Software: Sailfish OS build 2.1.0.11 (lijoki)

hardy_magnus ( 2017-07-29 20:21:25 +0300 )edit@hardy_magnus - The bug is that the user doesn't get any warning that the android app cannot be uninstalled if Android support is disabled.
sifartech ( 2017-07-30 11:56:21 +0300 )edit@sifartech: the bug is we get a cross on the android app to uninstall it when the android support is disabled.
hardy_magnus ( 2017-07-31 20:10:03 +0300 )edit@hardy_magnus: yes, that's the point. There's no indication Android support has to be active to uninstall Android applications.
