WebIDE is the code name of the new [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Using_the_App_Manager App Manager]. As for today, WebIDE only supports Firefox OS Apps (hence the name: App Manager). It will soon support Android tabs and Status: Will be available in Firefox Addons developmentNightly starting the 7th of June. Disabled by default (pref: devtools.webide.enabled).
WebIDE allow the user to:
* Edit apps (WebIDE comes with its own code editor)
* Install apps to the device/simulator
* Debug apps (WebIDE integrates the usual Firefox DevTools).
== Major features ==
==== * '''Code Editor ==== ''': The user can write the code of its app in WebIDE. It's an optional feature. User can still use his own editor.* '''App Creation''': 2 simple app templates are offered to the user.==== * ''' App Validation ==== ''': A validation mechanism will report any common errors in the manifest and the app structure. ==== * ''' Runtimes & Simulators ==== ''': WebIDE supports Firefox OS devices connected via USB. It's also possible to install and run simulators. ==== * ''' Auto-install ADB ==== ''': ADB (required to connect the phone via a USB cable) is automatically installed and controlled via WebIDE. The user won't need to install extra addons or android tools. ==== * ''' Command line support ==== ''': WebIDE can be controlled via the command line. Simple operations like importing an app, pushing and running it on the device/simulator, and connecting the devtools can be all done from a shell script.* ''' Key-bindings and quick iteration ''': Common keybindings make iterating quickly very simple. Write code in WebIDE. Save (Ctrl-s). Push and reload app (Ctrl-r). Close app (Ctrl-w). Repeat.* '''Device Info''': get an extensive list of data from the device (versions, hardware, screen resolution, permissions, ...)* '''Debug non-local apps''': Apps running on the device (like gaia apps) are debuggable. Certified apps are not debuggable by default (see [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Using_the_App_Manager#Debugging_Certified_Apps_2 how to enable certified apps debugging])
==== Key-bindings and quick iteration ==Work in progress ==
