Agenda

  • Significant Updates
    • Implementing security changes to the manifest, tracker bug 768862:
      • Needs changes to be written up in the spec
      • Needs enforcement in WebRTs across desktop, android and b2g
      • Needs update to marketplace validator
      • Affects current platform work
    • Launching of apps within a desktop browser has landed - bug 772600
  • Questions and Concerns
    • Concern - QA is blocked on bug 772363 - need input on how to test on each platform (desktop, android, b2g)
    • What differences exist in the app manifests used for Gaia apps vs. typical app manifests (i.e. what desktop & android install apps against)? Example manifest properties I see:
      • permissions
      • orientation
      • activities
      • attention_page
      • background_page
    • How does B2G make use of packaged apps?
    • Can any of the gaia apps be ran on desktop or android as well?
  • Roundtable
