Phoronix: Ubuntu Planning For HTML5, SDK Improvements

Ubuntu developers can soon look forward to many improvements in the Ubuntu App development platform via its SDK...

As an Ubuntu app developer, I'm delighted to hear this. The SDK is pretty functional, but it definitely needs some boot polish.

I'm in Ubuntu 14.04 development branch and I'm having trouble getting HTML5 application working. Following the tutorial, I don't have rss-sample.qml in my project. All I have is js/app.js, index.html, plugins.xml, and rss-sample.desktop. I didn't have HTML5 Touch UI, but HTML5 Tabbed Touch UI as my template.

The error message I have is

Starting ubuntu-html5-app-launcher --www=/home/grayson/Documents/ubuntu-sdk/rss-sample
Setting import path to:  /home/grayson/Documents/ubuntu-sdk/rss-sample 

WARNING: This project is using the experimental QML API extensions for QtWebKit and is therefore tied to a specific QtWebKit release.
WARNING: The experimental API will change from version to version, or even be removed. You have been warned!

Falling back on the plain Webview backend.

** (process:8180): WARNING **: Unable to register app: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Invalid application ID

I might wait until things get worked out when Ubuntu 14.04 comes out. I didn't modify the code.
