I tried installing apps after downloading them from bitbucket. They were not working in the app-store as some dependencies were missing. I expected that since the apps are developed specifically for IGB, the jar should work without any further modification. This observation is valid only for 23andme and ProtAnnot app. (Command Socket, Merge Annotation and Geometric mean operator worked seamlessly.) 2. After I selected the app in the file chooser, I was seeing the information about OSGi bundles. After I submitted the app, the validation steps were performed on the jar. It would have been nicer if the information about OSGi bundles was shown upfront and the validation checks were performed right after the jar selection and before the user hit the submit button. This will also prevent the developer from submitting the app multiple times. 3. After I submitted ProtAnnot app, I received a mail about pending app approval. However, the app was uploaded in the S3 bucket but with a different name than expected, therefore the app was not installing. (This could be happening because the app name and presentation name of ProtAnnot were different. We need to fix this and consider only one name while generating the repository.xml if that is the case.) 3a. Enhancement suggestion: The Email subject is generic: "IGB App Store - Submission Done!". We could make it more informative by adding the name of the submitted app in the email, something like this: "IGB App Store - ProtAnnot Submission Done!" 4. After I approved the app as admin, I received the approval mail. However the link in the mail http://testappstore.bioviz.org:443/apps/protannot is Http and not Https, so it did not work. Also, the link looks odd with the 443 port included in the Http link. 5. In editing options of the app, I was unable to add more email addresses of editors. Got the error saying "Email is invalid.". I was also not able to close the "add email" pop-up. 6. After submit app, confirm submission page is displayed. But as per present behavior, the initial submit button triggers the email and goes ahead and submits the app, without waiting for developer confirmation/cancellation. This needs to be fixed. 7. While editing the rating of the app, it opens a pop-up saying "Thank you for your input, the rating has been updated." After showing the message the pop-up should get automatically closed. If the user clicks on the ratings multiple times, multiple popups are displayed and main content of the page shifts down and is inaccessible after one point as there is no right scrollbar in the page. 8. I closed IGB to verify if I was getting alert "IGB is not running". I got the alert, but I continued to get that alert even after IGB was running again. 9. After adding details to the app like website, tutorial, and code repository, email, it is not displaying correctly on the view app page. 10. Currently if we click on screenshots they get opened in a new window. I suggest they should open as a pop-up on the same page and should rotate with left and right arrow button. On escape the image popup should get closed.
