Getting Parsing Error When Trying to Install on TV

Smart TV
1

Previously I have been able to install apps on my Tizen TVs. I had to set up my dev env again, and now when I go to install the package I get the following error:

install ixV5d4Fse9.tizenWrapper
package_path /home/owner/share/tmp/sdk_tools/tizenWrapper.wgt
app_id[ixV5d4Fse9.tizenWrapper] install start
app_id[ixV5d4Fse9.tizenWrapper] install failed[118, -19], reason: Parsing error :

I’ve seen elsewhere that the 118 means it is a certificate error, but with no explanation on what to do to fix it. I’ve tried reverting my certificate extension to one of the older ones here: Index of /sdk/extensions/ Unfortunately they don’t work because they can’t open the Samsung login page.

I’ve generated my certs and profiles using the defaults in the Certificate Manager and tried many variations on that. I’ve tried installing on a 2017 and 2022 Tizen. I’ve also tried downgrading the TV extensions to 5.5 which was what it was last time I got Tizen to work. No luck. I’ve tried on multiple Windows laptops.

Anyone have any suggestions?

What I ended up doing was to:

  1. Install an old version of Tizen Studio (4.6 IDE is what I used) from here: Index of /sdk/Installer/tizen-studio_4.6/
  2. Downgrade the TV Extension to 5.5 (https://developer.samsung.com/smarttv/develop/tools/tv-extension/archive.html)
  3. Downgrade the Certificate Manager to 2.0.65 (Index of /sdk/extensions/).
  4. Make your Samsung certificate using the Certificate Manager in the IDE. DON’T make a Tizen certificate
  5. Using the Tizen VS Code Extension (Tizen Extension - Visual Studio Marketplace) create a new project, but make it with options Web > tv-samsung > tv-samsung-6.0 > Basic_Empty. DON’T make it Tizen.
  6. By right-clicking on the folder that was made for the application made with the VS Code extension, you can Build, Install and then Run your app on the connected device.

Instructions on downgrading the packages

  1. Download the zip for the package you’re trying to downgrade to.
  2. In the Package Manager’s Extension SDK tab, uninstall the existing package you’re downgrading
  3. Still in Package Manager, click on the Configuration button (a little gear icon).
  4. In the Configuration dialog, expand the Extension SDK
  5. Disable the extension you’re replacing by toggling the switch to off
  6. Click the plus button to add a repository
  7. Enter an arbitrary name for the repository, but for the repository, browse to the zip file you downloaded earlier.
  8. Confirm your choice and return to the Package Manager’s Extension SDK tab
  9. Now click to install the extension you downgraded to, for instance TV Extensions-5.5. Samsung Certificate Extension seems to be named the same even when downgraded.

Hopefully that works for others.
