Bug In App Uploader

Former Member over 9 years ago

After submitting version 2 of my watch face (find it here), I went to edit the description with the new version details (due to another bug described here I could not do it when I submitted).

When I add the description text and hit submit, the description is deleted and the page complains that "Description (English) is empty". I tried several times with the same result (insanity).

Is this a known bug?

IIRC, this happened when you use a "<" in the description. Was it something like that?

As a matter of fact there is a '>' character in the text I wanted to add to my description.

Does the text editor have some bug that interprets these characters as "erase everything and start over"?

It may be thinking it's something like html where is's expecting an opening < and a closing >

I guess that must have been it. I replaced '>' with 'greater than' and I was able to upload the new description.

This is just something where I saw a problem the first time I used a < or > in a description, and never checked if it's been fixed. I just use "less than" or "greater than" instead and will probably never change :)

This is something that we plan to fix at some point--I see the issue here in the store team's backlog. Apologies for the trouble!
