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

Question

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:

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 05 '15 at 12:58
@Velkan Can you run qmlscene on your phone? I don't get any errors running this on my desktop. — Anon, Oct 06 '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.desktop $HOME/Documents/myfile.qml (from here) — Velkan, Oct 06 '15 at 17:45
@Velkan I did that: http://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 :/ — Anon, Oct 06 '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.desktop) — Velkan, Oct 06 '15 at 19:55
I made a bunch of sample projects from the sdk using the templates. Every one of them failed to launch, except the app that uses .qmlproject as its project file. As to your command there, that fails as well: http://i.imgur.com/8CtFNLG.png — Anon, Oct 06 '15 at 20:17
There is no something.qml file on that command line. Without the file name I've got the same error. So, the install scripts are not ok. — Velkan, Oct 06 '15 at 20:19
do I have to find the main.qml my app is using, and navigate it there then? I'll try that. — Anon, Oct 06 '15 at 20:20

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. — Anon, Oct 06 '15 at 20:31

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.
