Great work on OmniSD! I seem to be getting an error when trying to install any web app bundles MissingMetadataFile. Has anyone any idea?

Thanks
Andrew

Please refer to Textr (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/bananahackers/L04f7fNZFH8) package on how the metadata.json should be implemented.

Thank you! That's worked to install some old Firefox apps that I've found. I'm going to try to refactor them to run on KaiOS, but most are expecting touch input. I've been trying to figure out if there's a property that triggers display of the cursor. Apps like YouTube just redirect out to the browser and I've relocated that webapp to create a launcher for Telegram. Twitter seems to stay within the app and have a cursor and I thought that might work for some of the simpler Firefox apps, but I can't seem to find where the Twitter app is stored on the file system after installation; it's not in the directory with all the system apps.
