"Status: Network required for install" on ZTE Skate running cyanogenmod 7
Trying to install lildebi from F-Droid, I get "Status: Network required for install" on a SIM-less phone (ZTE Skate running cyanogenmod 7) which is connected to the internet via Wifi just fine; I verified that both the default route and DNS resolution do work.
It seems this https://github.com/guardianproject/lildebi/blob/master/src/info/guardianproject/lildebi/LilDebi.java#L276 (isOnline()) yields a wrong result.
I use LilDebi on a Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0, Nexus 7 2012, Nexus 7 2013, and a cheap Chinese tablet, which are all also a SIM-less, WiFi-only devices. Sounds like a bug in your ROM. If ConnectivityManager.getActiveNetworkInfo() does not return the correct result, there is not anything that LilDebi can do about it.
