}

4. Build vpkg.

5. Try to install the bundle.

3. Observed Behavior

The installation script fails with:

Failed
ERR: Error: Command failed: vda -s emulator-5554 shell 'vpm install /tmp/fireflies_aarch64.vpkg'
error: Unable to install '/tmp/fireflies_aarch64.vpkg' as the required dependencies are not found on the device.
help: Please update your device software to the latest version or install the missing dependencies.

4. Expected Behavior

Installation script does not fail and the app can be installed and started afterwards

4.a Possible Root Cause & Temporary Workaround

After investigation, it was find out that removing file node_modules/@amzn/keplerscript-identity-lwa-lib/kepler-compatibility.json may do the trick and the app can be installed. but I am not sure what is the consequences. The file is containing

{
  "versions": {
    "0.0.44": "/com.amazon.kepler.identity_lwa_lib_0@IIdentityLwaLib_0"
  }
}

5. Logs or crash report

Hi @Yeldar_Kossynbay,

Login with Amazon is not yet supported in Kepler Virtual Device (as documented here). While our team is working to implement this functionality, please use a Fire TV stick device in the interim.

Siva

Hey @Siva_Prakash,

we’re not trying to get Login with Amazon running on the simulator, but we just want to be able to run the other parts of our application, which is impossible as of now. All other Amazon integrations (regardless of them being supported on the simulator or not) have never brought any issues like this.

The current state is a big hit to developer experience, as we need to remove all passages of code from the application, remove the package, and then rebuild the application to be able to develop using the simulator.

Can you provide a timeline for the fix?

Best,
Sebastian
