[4.6.0.11] App Support, app grid - ING Banking App and others are killed (closed) after entering PIN

[JoOppen]

Since several Android Apps are affected (ING, Teams …) but not all of them (Citrix) but all Android apps can (almost) easily be launched from the terminal, I wonder why this problem is not solved.

For lauching an Android app from the terminal, one needs to enter
apkd-laucher, followed by what is found in /defaultuser/.local/share/applications/apkd_handler_com_TheSpecificAndroidApp

Since this workaaound may not be for everyone, it would be great if Jolla could solve the app-launching bug in order to offer the full potential of AppSupport. All Android apps should stay open when lauched from the app grid. I wonder why some apps are closing after launch when launched from the app grids but stay open when launched from the terminal. My wild guess is that this somehow is related to memory management because it “feels” like an OOM situation

WPS Office app no longer starting after update to SFOS 4.6.0.13

After upgrading to SFOS 4.6.0.13 android app WPS Office (cn.wps.moffice) no longer starts. With “appsupport-attach logcat” I find this message: 06-21 12:16:09.601 259 298 I ActivityManager: Force stopping cn.wps.moffice_eng appid=10113 user=-1: sfos_background_denied Starting the app from within an app store, e.g. Aurora or Aptoide, works. Any idea what exactly the problem is?

I’m not familiar with Sailfish’s internal error message outputs, but could maybe “sfos_background_denied” be a hint why this problem exists?

For lauching an Android app from the terminal, one needs to enter
apkd-laucher , followed by what is found in /defaultuser/.local/share/applications/apkd_handler_com_TheSpecificAndroidApp

Based on this I found a comfortable solution:

1. Install qCommand from OpenRepos: https://openrepos.net/content/coanteen/qcommand

2. In qCommand create a new command: For command and name enter the values you find in your apkd_launcher file.

3. In qCommand, long tap on the new created command, then select “Create launcher icon”. This creates a new file qCommand.autogen-*.desktop in ~/.local/share/application, with the asterisk for a one or two digit number.

4. Edit that file and replace value of Icon with the one you find in your original apkd_launcher file

Now you have a new launcher icon, that looks like the original one, and it’s working. Maybe, for the new icon tp display the correct image, you have to restart the start screen

Exactly the same bug on Mes Comptes (BNP) app.

The same problem occurs with the IKO app (PKOBP Bank in Poland). A workaround using apkd-launcher from the terminal works well.

It is fixed in 4.6.0.15. The ING bank app can be opened and used normally.
