I have created a settings/index.html file which is an exact copy of the one from the documentation
( App Settings - Homey Apps SDK ) however all I get when clicking the configure app button that appear is a spinning icon that spins forever. Are there more requirements that need to be met than those described on that page?
(I even tried to download the source code for GitHub - jurgenheine/com.tuya.cloud: Connect homey to the Tuya cloud renamed the app name to mytest and try to run it, even for this one I got the spinning icon - which is odd because it works if I use the app store version)
Works okay(-ish) for me:
You can open the settings from the developer page and open your browser’s developer console to see if there are any errors being thrown.

Thanks, seems like the developer interface works a bit better than the phone interface, I’m will investigate further later today as I need to leave for an appointment.
So the difference between my phone interface and the developer tools interface is that on my phone I see a white page with a spinning icon in the middle while the developer tools interface gives me the correct index.html setup page shown except that it is grayed out (disabled) with a spinning icon in the middle. So I get no progress in both places. I just wonder, is this the behavior that is expected if Homey.ready(); is not called? I wonder if the signal is not getting through.
Ok, I figured it out.
So, it turns out that if I copy paste the example code from firefox in Ubuntu then I get one invisible character copied between each paragraph. Not sure what this invisible character is but it may be related to LF + CR(?). In any case, this invisible character will make the javascript code unprocessable, so if I just delete this invisible character then the javascript will be able to execute and as such call Homey.ready()
So I guess this is more of a firefox + linux or maybe just linux problem…
