Minutes

blocklisting of apps

  • won't have time to do anything on the device side for v1
  • our plan is to disable the app in the marketplace and then push an app update that disables it for users
  • adora needs to know about this
  • people with admin privileges include ibai's team and adora's team
  • only one team should have ownership of it, probably adora's
  • -> pmpcat to loop adora into conversation about blocklisting apps
  • blocklisting will only apply to privileged apps in v1
  • we won't be able to blocklist all apps installed through mozilla store
  • since we don't do updates for hosted apps
  • our goal is to keep users on the latest versions of apps
  • so we aren't going to support blocklisting of specific versions of apps
  • this is an 80% solution for v1; we may do more later

Firefox OS UA string

window.open and off-origin content

app install specs

mozPay

  • jsmith doing proof-of-concept testing for mozPay against mock payment provider

open questions from Marketplace team

  • major remaining one is signing
  • bsmith is working on platform implementation, doesn't have answers yet
  • -> overholt to talk to bsmith about coordinating with Marketplace team
  • -> overholt to talk to josh about possibility of getting more help from network team
  • bsmith is overloaded: webrtc, signing, firefox 16, B2G firmware OTA updates

payments

  • kumar leading charge on identity along with jedp and lucas
  • doing vendor assessments for various payment processors for new payment model
  • chance that we could implement it prior to v2, possibly even v1!
  • but stay the course until someone says differently!
  • stay tuned; we'll let you know as soon as anything changes

basecamp+ flag

  • if anything needs to be done for v1, flag it with basecamp+!
  • -> pmpcat to contact morgamic about triaging Marketplace bugs regularly for basecamp blocking status while clouserw on PTO
  • -> pmpcat to contact clouserw about triaging Marketplace bugs regularly for basecamp blocking status once he's back from PTO

third-party apps using web activities

  • need to make sure documentation reflects chance that spec/implementation will change

dev doc bugs

  • list is expanding significantly
  • we need to stay on top of it
  • markg is on it

r2d2b2g

  • looks like a big win for hack days
  • huge potential, warrants investment
  • also helpful for crowdsourcing for testing, where we need feedback from people willing to pick up builds and find problems
  • stormy's team talking about funding outsourcing of developer
  • -> myk to talk to karenw about possibilities for future development of r2d2b2g

android webapps

  • we have an implementation! you should test it and file bugs
  • we need people to start dogfooding it
  • email jsmith if you don't know how to file a bug
  • -> jsmith to contact aaronmt about docs for testing android webapps
  • is the marketplace supposed to work right now? all I get is "check back later"
  • -> krupa to look into roadblock on development version of marketplace
  • ask in #amo or #marketplace if you can't get access to marketplace!

android blockers

marketplace promos on Android

  • current plan is to leave them enabled on nightly/aurora
  • on october 8, we're going to make a decision whether or not to leave them enabled on beta
  • android project team owns the decision

Android Story - Marketplace & Android WebRT alignment

  • concern about alignment between Marketplace team and Android WebRT teams
  • right now if you go to Marketplace on Android it isn't optimized for Android screen sizes
  • discussions took place in the Marketplace meeting last week
  • potch owns the goal of making sure we can optimize for Android
  • there are bugs filed to get this done
  • we can make it a priority to get done this week
  • there's a misalignment of date: october 8 is deadline for decision about android webapp implementation, but marketplace doesn't prioritize android support until one of their november releases
  • question of whether we can pull forward android marketplace priorities into october
