Expedite review of broken Nano X apps

[wickles]

Cosmos and Centrifuge apps have recently been updated to resolve issues preventing some users from accessing funds, yet the updated apps are still not available on Ledger Live. Since Nano X users have no way to sideload in order to access their funds, the review process for these updates should be prioritized.

I will forward the information internally but this is not something to fix in "Ledger Live" itself, but more in the ledger nano app store api. thanks

Sorry @wickles , but indeed opening the issue here will not help. It will be better addressed here

Please also read https://developers.ledger.com/docs/nano-app/submission-form/
We review Nano app updates after the developer/owner of the application actually pushes a PR an fills this form.

Zondax/ledger-centrifuge#35 ==> Indeed Ledger didn't release any updates yet. The last version is 2.34.4. We'll look into a possible PR made by Zondax or ICF to our repo to cover this. So far I haven't found one... (cc @tjulien-ledger )

cosmos/ledger-cosmos#65 ==> Apparently it's solved here. We need to receive a PR to our repo to be able to merge the fix. (cc @tjulien-ledger )

In any case, we are going to address this issue asap and contact the Zondax / ICF to discuss this further and avoid this situation happens again.

Hi @FabriceDautriat, thanks very much for your insight. This is growing into a systemic issue with moving parts across multiple repos and orgs so it only seems to make sense to discuss here. I cannot find any way to verify that the updated apps are in review so as far as I can tell this is the only way to ensure these things do not keep falling through the cracks and forgotten.

A bit confused here on why you refer only to Cosmos especially in your response to the Centrifuge issue? To reiterate, this issue applies not only to Cosmos but also Centrifuge, a Polkadot parachain. I believe that app was available behind the Developer/Experimental mode in Ledger Live. It seems like both apps' updates should be made available to users with that mode enabled.

Hi @wickles, for cosmos we have received an update including the fix to the issue mentioned here and it will deployed very shortly. As for Centrifuge, we have not received any PRs though. I have contacted the developers though to see if they can open a PR so that we can update it. Once the PR is opened we will review it and publish it ASAP.

The new version 2.34.6 was released yesterday. Please give it a try @wickles !

Solved my problem for Cosmos, thanks! Any news for Centrifuge?

It is important to clarify that while Zondax has developed these apps, projects themselves may decide not to maintain them, how to prioritize funding, engage in a maintenance contracts, etc.

In the case of Cosmos, the issue was affecting other chains in the ecosystem (such as Kava). We had to discuss with ICF the path forward and coordinate a response.

With respect to Centrifuge, the chain went through backwards incompatible changes. Unfortunately, Zondax does not have any maintenance agreement with them. As an alternative, we have offered building a light app under an agreement we have with the web3 foundation. This light app could/should be submitted by the Centrifuge team.

That is interesting. In the Centrifuge issue that I linked they suggested that the latest (unverified) version should support the parachain.

Hi! There's a new release (v1.1005.0) that support Centrifuge parachain balances pallet. As LNX doesn't support unofficial app sideloading (aka you can only install apps in Ledger Live) this app version is, for the moment, only available for NanoS and NanoSP using our installers, found in the latest release.

I got hold of a Nano SP just to test this out and it doesn't work.
