No more appliction updates and suspicious store behaviour with Vaarainjärvi [answered]
Could be a bug, could be a feature, could just be coincidence... But since I installed Vaarainjärvi, I have not received one single update for applications I have already installed. (Although I see new applications in the store every now and then.)
This wouldn't be so strange in itself - maybe developers just aren't as active as usual during the holiday season - but also the behaviour of the store changed compared to previous versions (including Uitukka):
Before Vaarainjärvi, when I went to the "My applications" page in the store client, I could watch the list grow as applications were sorted alphabetically. Every now and then, sometimes only after a few seconds, one of the apps would be pushed on top of the list because there was an update available.
Now, when I open "My applications", everything's right there, the list is static and doesn't give the impression of anything's being even checked for updates. Is this supposed to be a feature like "Don't confuse user with dynamic list"? (Didn't find anything about it in the release notes.) Or does it mean what it seems to say: store never checks for updates?
Well I remember to read that the performance of the Jolla Store was improved in the release notes.. So I think this is the cause (feature) of this 'static list' behaviour. :) And regarding of not receiving updates or missing/ empty MyApps-list (which your are not experiencing as it seems) you should update your Jolla Acc credentials.

proceeds. Sometimes with surprising results, sometimes not.@Robomike thanks for reminding me about pkcon. After a
pkcon refresh
I did apkcon get-updates
with the following results:So there are updates available that the store chooses to ignore. Now let's see what Jolla Store tells me when I select Cargo Dock from "My Applications":
It does not tell me about an update at the top of the page. At the bottom though, where it shows the changelogs etc., it tells me:
And
pkcon
reveals that I have 0.2.2-1 installed while 0.2.2.1-1 is available.The situation is similar with sailfish-utilities-all-translations-pack: I have version sailfish-utilities-all-translations-pack-0.0.1-10.1.1 while
pkcon
lists sailfish-utilities-all-translations-pack-0.0.1-10.2.1 as available.Seems like the store happily ignores all information in a Major.Minor.Patch numbering scheme that comes after the patch... so for the store client 0.2.2 is equal to 0.2.2.1.
Now I know that in fact I was right and there's something wrong with the store... I still don't know, though, if I ruined the store on my device or if this is a real bug.
Do any of you have Cargo Dock installed? Can you check if Jolla Store offers an update to 0.2.2.1?
ossi1967 ( 2014-12-26 21:46:18 +0300 )editI do not have one but Jolla store alerted me about updating 2-3 programs for 2 months i have the phone. Strange indeed.
Odorobo ( 2014-12-26 21:57:46 +0300 )editFor me the Store informs in Cargo Docks app page: "Version: 0.2.2 Installed: 0.2.2.1", the latter being also the version number that Cargo Docs app itself reports in the About page. So, no Store probs here, at least ;) Maybe u are suffereing of some auth or connectivity problems that csuse those mismatches u reported. Anyways the Store page of Cargo Docks in my case too is strange because the Version info is lower than the Installed one..
