Apps Program Software Architecture

Provide Developers with:
- a consistent App runtime environment that makes their Apps feel like natives, not tourists, on every platform they care about
- a consistent payment infrastructure for Apps available at our Marketplace

Provide Users with:
- an open Apps ecosystem that lets them shop at the App store of their choice
- a robust App runtime environment that makes Apps feel like natives, not tourists on every device
- a means to back up and manage their Apps from multiple Stores across multiple devices

Provide App Stores
- a well-documented API for installing and managing Apps
- access to the same cloud-based services for App management that our Marketplace uses

Provide well-designed API's for App installation, App management, and App payments
Conceal uninteresting platform dependencies while providing access to crucial platform-specific features
Provide access to multiple payment providers through a single, unified API

How can we help developers cope with the one-app-per-origin restriction?
How can achieve a consistent Identity sol'n in the face of Firefox OS carrier and operator constraints?
How can achieve a consistent payments API in the face of Firefox OS carrier and operator constraints?
