Empty error when attempting to sign using the updated ledger firmware

[evan-forbes]

Previous to the 2.2.2 ledger nano X firmware upgrade, we were able to sign transactions via the cli. Now, after updating to 2.2.2, the ledger is unable to sign and nothing happens. please see celestiaorg/celestia-app#2650 for more details.

From that issue:

Summary of Bug

Default sign-mode 'direct' not supported by Ledger, using sign-mode 'amino-json'.

I tried playing around with various options and flags - the result is always the same

Hello, we are having the same issue on our chain (Coreum) with CLI.

Actually the issue for me is not with the firmware update but with the app version. The previous ledger-cosmos app version (2.34.9) in the marketplace worked without issues with CLI. In fact, if I take that version from the repository and compile it and install it using the ledger extension on my device with the new firmware, it still works.

The problem comes when I take the app version 2.34.12 (or any superior version that is not released yet, 2.35.*), the CLI is not compatible anymore. We get the same error as described above. After attempting to sign a message, it will throw an empty error without any description.

hey @keyleu this only works for apps built in go afaiu, but we just used a version of the sdk that bump this dep to v0.13.1 and the issue was resolved for us. I actually forgot to close this!

please feel free to reopen @keyleu if this is still an issue for you
