App does not support UI access. See its app.conf for more information.

I'm following the tutorial for embedding dashboard elements in 3rd party software here

http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/4.1.4/Developer/3rdParty

And after I finish that, I receive the error

App "MyApp" does not support UI access. See its app.conf for more information.

All my app.conf has in it is

[ui]
is_visible = 1
label = My App

[launcher]
author = Tim
description = This is a description
version = 1.0

and after looking here

http://www.splunk.com/base/Documentation/4.1.4/admin/Appconf

I dont see any particularly obvious setting I'm missing that would relate to that error. I checked permissions on the app (which I thought was the problem at first) but after having fixed those up, I'm still getting the error.

I get the same error if I manually log in as the user and click on the app link in the "My apps" tab.

I think I'm missing something really obvious here. Any ideas?

Well, not sure what I did to fix it but somewhere between changing permissions, adding capabilities to roles, creating a very sparse advanced xml dashboard to act as a landing page, and restarting splunk, I'm no longer receiving the error.

Per the "view configurations" link for my app I see

name "default", config type "nav"
name "default", config type "views"

Does your app have a nav and a default view?
