To reproduce: - Install Firefox Nightly on an Android device - Install this add-on to activate payments prefs: http://mzl.la/19BZQCx, from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/dev-marketplace/ (source: https://github.com/wesj/devMarketplace) - Install the in-app payment tester from http://apploa.de/3b25a (manifest: http://inapp-pay-test.paas.allizom.org/manifest.webapp) - Open the tester app from the Android home screen - Tap Pay - When prompted to sign-in, tap the sign-in button Expected: A Persona window should open and let you sign in. Actual: No Persona window opens. You only see the spinner from the webpay server and there isn't anything useful in the logcat that I can see. Note that the add-on above activates Persona debug settings.

Jed, it looks like we're trying to open a trusted UI from a trusted UI -- is native Persona even at work here? I believe navigator.mozPay() has a custom implementation on Android. Wes could provide details.

This might be a dupe of bug 826325

/cc :seanmonstar, who has has deeper knowledge about persona on android

:kumar and no, there is no native Persona navigator.id for Firefox on Android. Opening a Persona issue for this. Let's discuss more here: https://github.com/mozilla/browserid/issues/3882

We thought maybe this was related to CSP errors but I disabled CSP on WebPay and the error still happened (without any CSP errors in logcat). We can rule that out.

Hmm. The STR work fine for me on nightly. Persona window opens. I can log in. Going through the pin verification now (although I never got the expected SMS...). Can you give me any details about the type of device you're testing on?

I was testing on HTC Dream (TMob G2) running an ancient Android, version 2.3.4. That's the only device I have laying around. Sounds like we can maybe mark it as wontfix? Let me know if you need more logging than what's attached.

I just verified that this is not happening with Ice Cream Sandwich on a Samsung Galaxy II. If someone wants to close this (or change priority) then go for it.

There were still payment issues on ICS but I filed bug 924693 to track them

According to http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html, over 50% of devices are on ICS and above. Should we be worrying about compatability before that? We should be matching whatever compatibility Firefox has in my opinion.

Yeah, we do worry about those devices. I've got some around and will try to test this when I can. But I'm surprised it only fails on some devices.

+1. Officially we support Android v2.2 and up.

Wesj Is there a latest status on this? Update?

The persona windows show up and work on my phones. Can QA verify?

Do you mean you tried it with Android 2.3? That's the only version I've seen it in so far.

Yeah, I tried on an Android 2.3 Motorola Droid X.

Thanks. I trust your 2.3 test more than mine because I was testing on a locked T-Mob phone with a non-standard Android build anyway. QA can weigh in if they like but I'm fine with a worksforme until someone else hits it.
