Description

cf. https://github.com/opendatakit/collect/issues/129

It is possible to change the error message that shows when an external app doesn't launch.

@lognaturel It seems to me that this can only be done in the XML. Is there a way to do this in the XLSForm?

(This issue was pulled out of the notes in #18)
