When I updated my cca from 0.0.7 to the latest my app stopped loading all external images only when running on android specifically.
My app allows users to specify avatars from other sites by pasting or sharing an image url, and I had been resizing the image in javascript and storing it in chrome local storage. However I recently upgraded my cca and the external images no longer loaded on android. Oddly enough, the chrome extension and the packaged ios version of the app load the external images fine.
By trying different versions of cca, I found that the behavior change is introduced in version 0.0.9 specifically. Is anyone aware of a major change in cca 0.0.9 that has changed how xhr loaded resources or images are processed in android specifically? I've gone through the release notes for cca and it has some notes about host permission changes but I can't tell if that is specifically the problem. Just wondering if other people have encountered the same issue and if there are any known workarounds, or even a way to identify the problem more specifically so I can escalate it to the cca developers.
So I've tracked this down to a problem with the way that CCA apps try to fix the hostname on
HTMLAnchorElement.hrefattributes.We added this code specifically for AngularJS on Android KitKat, to deal with
chrome-extension://URLs, but it is failing in your specific case because you're converting the image into a data:// URL, and the code in CCA is throwing an exception when the regular expression fails to match it.I've just now created an issue for this, and it will be fixed in the next release of
cca(probably 0.1.2, hopefully RealSoonNow)
