Gaia/AppPermissions

What is forcing your Gaia app to be a certified app? Could it be just a privileged app or even a web app? What is currently stopping that from happening?

To find out, take a look at the permissions your app requests in its manifest.webapp file, and compare against the list here. Also, please note any other reasons that your app currently has to be certified.

browser

• Permissions
  • settings (read only)
  • nfc (read/write)
• Has to run in the main process because we don't have nested processes for content processes.
• Is being replace by the system browser which will be part of the system app.

email

• Permissions
  • settings (read only) - to support "email sent" sound which is controlled by the settings UI per UX decision some time ago. The e-mail app could just control this internally in its own settings.

system

The system app is really part of the platform and can probably never be anything other than a certified app.
