We are still using hostutils based on firefox 50...time for an update.

On irc, jchen said the old xpcshell was causing https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1407679#c5, and that the new hostutils would need to include the patch for that bug. That's...non-standard, in that we usually build hostutils from a mozilla-central release, but I think we can be flexible.

Not sure if Autophone uses the same host-utils. If not, Autophone would also need updated XRE/xpcshell for bug 1407679. CCing Bob to get it on his radar.

I created a new hostutils based on https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=autoland&revision=dab1c5badddbf3dafd34b52700c3e1129f76d632, uploaded to tooltool and pushed a manifest update to try with the patch from bug 1407679; that seems to work well: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=6b835345c7de6986a54cf67577614ce24f9a924e Tests fail if I update the manifest without the patch from bug 1407679, so I think the manifest update + bug 1407679 need to land simultaneously, along with whatever changes are needed for autophone.

I've built new linux host-utils and uploaded to tooltool. Here are the manifest updates to put that into use. Also noted specifics of this build on https://wiki.mozilla.org/Packaging_Android_host_utilities. Looks good on try: https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=6b835345c7de6986a54cf67577614ce24f9a924e

:snorp, :jchen - We should update the osx host-utils at the same time. I don't have convenient access to osx. Can one of you follow the instructions at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Packaging_Android_host_utilities for osx? I can upload to tooltool if you can get the archive to me.

Sorry, I don't have a Mac anymore.

Leave open for osx follow-up. Until a new osx host utils is deployed, developers may encounter errors running Android tests from osx hosts.

I'll try to run an xpcshell test today.

I think mochitests should be okay? Not sure if xpcshell tests use host-utils.

Thanks a lot Nick! The archive downloads for me, and looks right. If you can just verify that you've sanity tested the change, we can finish up here. ('mach mochitest testing/mochitest/tests/Harness_sanity' is my favorite.)

Just tested with bug1415242b I can run my test now.

Thanks Nevin. I'm going to go ahead and land this with r=me.
