What is WebIDE?

WebIDE will replace the App Manager. As for today, WebIDE only supports Firefox OS Apps.

Status: Firefox 34.

WebIDE allow users to:

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.
Key-bindings and quick iteration : Common keybindings make iterating 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 how to enable certified apps debugging)
