Service Method Call Denied - "Denied method call for category '/'"

Web App Development
1

Hello everyone,

I’m developing a service for webOS and have run into a permission issue. I’ve defined a simple method in my services.json, I added the public in the command, but when I try to call it from another app, I get the error: “Denied method call ‘myMethod’ for category ‘/’”.

Here is my services.json:

  "id": "com.mycompany.myservice",
  "services": [
    {
      "name": "com.mycompany.myservice",
      "commands": [
        {
          "name": "myMethod",
          "public": true
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

My service.register(“myMethod”, …) implementation in the JavaScript file is straightforward.

I feel like I’m missing a permissions step but can’t find it in the documentation. Does anyone know what causes this and how to fix it?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @narae0.kim ;

Thank you for your response. But the Hello World Service example shows a basic service. My question is how to make methods public for other apps. I tried with “public” in the commands list but it didn’t work ?

Best regards.

JS servcies can only be called within the same app package. Thank you.

Hi @narae0.kim

Thank you for your answer. But looking to this official documentation: https://webostv.developer.lge.com/develop/references/services-json
It says that there is a public property in the service.json that do the following: The default value is false. In order to make the command available to all apps, you must set this property to true.

In which case that public property is used ?

Thank you.
Best regards.
