Switching from "Download Failed" to "Download Stopped" (2/20)

Well, I guess I made some progress.

At the beginning of this period, I was having issues with a "download failed" error. I found this post on StackOverflow, which said that it was a result of a manifest error. I then found a place on Mozilla's website where I could check the manifest. Slowly, I removed all the errors from it, and now my packaged app has no errors according to their website here. (I uploaded the .zip every time I wanted to check for errors)

Now, both Alex and I are facing another issue: "Download Stopped". Once again, it's the same process, although now our manifests are perfect, and our .zip files are also perfect, according to their checker. I'm still experimenting with different possibilities of removing this, such as different ways of zipping the file, etc., but nothing is working so far. This time, there is no information on Google as of yet. I'm just getting directed to StackOverflow posts from the "Download Failed" issue. While it could be OS-based, I'm thinking that it has something to do with how our packages are compressed or the file structure of our apps.

I'll continue trying; hopefully I can solve this issue soon!

  1. Really nice work! I'll send an email to Marcia later this evening. Just wait until we hear back, and focus your study on other parts of the project until then.
