Details

(Whiteboard: [UX-P?])

Build: B2G 18 1/13/2013 Device: Unagi Steps: 1. Update a 3rd party app successfully with no errors Expected: We should get a notification of confirmation that the update was successfully applied. Actual: The notification disappears with no user confirmation that the update was successful. This creates an awkward situation for the user where they do not truly understand if the update was or wasn't successful, as the result of the update was silent, which makes the results of the update appear ambiguous.

I was told this is a UX consistent behaviour: we don't want to tell the user things they can't act upon. I was surprised by that at first too but this makes sense.
Josh - please re-nominate if this isn't by design and critical enough to fix in the v1.x timeframe.

We're open to visible tipping off the user to a successful update, so long as the cue is subtle. We're wary of being obnoxious about "positive confirmations", along lines of Windows telling me via pop up that I've successfully plugged in my USB key. We'd like to revisit app updates in general, post v1.0 / 1.0.1 / 1.1. This is on the docket for tracking.
