I have created a settings/index.html file which is an exact copy of the one from the documentation ( [App Settings - Homey Apps SDK](https://apps.developer.homey.app/advanced/custom-views/app-settings) ) 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](https://github.com/jurgenheine/com.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: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/5/85f3d4b104f7ae724e0a38d8b43503e33fd02907.jpeg) You can open the settings from [the developer page](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/app-settings) 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…
