I'm getting this error when trying to build my click package for my nexus 4 phone. This issue does not exist when I build for the desktop:

Loading module: 'libubuntu_application_api_touch_mirclient.so.3.0.0'
This plugin does not support propagateSizeHints()

The full error is here:

enter image description here

I don't know how to troubleshoot this. Any idea what this is saying?

It's not necessarily because of that warning. Try to run it manually using qmlscene to see more logs. – Velkan Oct 5 '15 at 12:58
    
@Velkan Can you run qmlscene on your phone? I don't get any errors running this on my desktop. – Akiva Oct 6 '15 at 16:30

Pure QML apps are launched through qmlscene by the GUI environment. To run from terminal: $ qmlscene --desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/dialer-app.deskt‌​op $HOME/Documents/myfile.qml (from here) – Velkan Oct 6 '15 at 17:45
    
@Velkan I did that: i.imgur.com/ycwvKgy.png Basically the same error. I tried running another app in qml scene already installed on my phone, and got the same error :/ – Akiva Oct 6 '15 at 19:17

And a qml file that has just a rectangle in it runs? (through terminal with --desktop_file_hint=/usr/share/applications/dialer-app.deskt‌​op) – Velkan Oct 6 '15 at 19:55

There is something similar. Bug report for Calculator app:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gang65/ubuntu-calculator-app/ubuntu-calculator-app-install-fix/revision/218#app/CMakeLists.txt

Tested on multiple devices (arale, krillin running rc-proposed) and krillin running retail OTA-5.

Starting calculator results in the launch window, then the app dies without ever drawing the calculator window.

The app launches fine on the desktop.

Something broke between r182 (currently in the store) and r217.

Log contains:-

It may be because I am using the wrong channel. Popey recommended me using an aquaris channel for the nexus 4 [which is what I have been using], where dobey is now suggesting I try ubuntu-touch/rc-proposed/ubuntu instead. I'll let you know how it goes. – Akiva Oct 6 '15 at 20:31
    
And... nothing. I'll take a look at this answer then :) – Akiva Oct 6 '15 at 20:56

I solved this issue by creating a new project in the SDK, using the template:

And transferring my project files to this project. While not a solution to the bug, this was by my metric the quickest workaround that allowed me to get back to work.
