Question
I'm encountering an issue when trying to install my TV web application (WGT package) on:
- New 2016 Tizen TV devices
- The emulator included with Tizen Studio
Error details:
- When running from IDE:
"step SDB shell handle failed; Failed to
step SDB shell handle '2 mkdir /tmp Bruno Costa' commandoperation sdb command rejected exception" - When using sdb install command: Only returns "closed"
Note: The application works fine on:
- 2015 Tizen TV devices
- Older versions of the emulator
Has anyone experienced similar issues? I need help resolving this as my app is currently non-functional on newer TV models.
