One of our goals in Spark is to open the door to greater customization and hacking. The current Firefox OS permissions model precludes modification and installation of certified apps, which makes some device API's completely unavailable to Marketplace and web apps. | |||
The solution for now is to allow the user to indicate that they'd like to relax the permissions model through a "Developer Mode" group of preferences. This can be set using either the Settings app, or WebIDE. | |||
Once set, the user receives the following benefits: | |||
* Apps can create add-ons for themselves using the "import-app" activity. | |||
* Certified apps can be installed from anywhere. | |||
* All developer-related prefs and settings are enabled, such as certified app debugging, web components, etc. | |||
