Known issue - App Install timeouts/errors

Vega Open Beta Announcements
1

We recently received reports of issues of developers being unable to sideload apps during development.

Symptom:
When sideloading an app either using the Vega Studio plugin or via the command line, the error may manifest as:

  • A timeout
  • Receiving this error in the log: Installing/Updating '/tmp/myapp.vpkg' ...error (Parameter value bad )

Workaround:
The Amazon team is working on publishing a fix; however, in the meantime you can unblock yourself by:

  1. Shell into the device from your terminal. For SDK version 0.22+, use vega exec vda shell. For older versions (<0.22), use kepler exec vda shell.
  2. run vpm cancel-all-downloads
~ vda shell

  1. Reinstall your app using your normal workflow (with Vega Studio or Command Line).
