DESCRIPTION:
Slack Android application icon gets deleted from the launcher when device is rebooted. Could also be restart of AlienDalvik, but I just noticed this after reboot.
PRECONDITIONS:
- Have Android support and Slack installed
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- Install the application
- The icon appears in the grid
- Reboot
EXPECTED RESULT:
- The icon is still in the launcher
ACTUAL RESULT:
- The icon is not in the launcher
- Slack must be started from application store or command line
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
I don’t know what is causing this, but I suspect Slack may not be the only application affected.
After installing Slack, before reboot:
$ ls /usr/share/applications/ | grep Slack
apkd_handler_com_Slack-slack_app_ui_HomeActivity.desktop
apkd_handler_com_Slack-slack_features_deeplinking_DeepLinkActivity.desktop
apkd_launcher_com_Slack-slack_app_ui_HomeActivity.desktop
After reboot:
$ ls /usr/share/applications/ | grep Slack
apkd_handler_com_Slack-slack_app_ui_HomeActivity.desktop
apkd_handler_com_Slack-slack_features_deeplinking_DeepLinkActivity.desktop
WORKAROUND
- Install Slack
cp /usr/share/applications/apkd_launcher_com_Slack-slack_app_ui_HomeActivity.desktop ~/
- Reboot
