Notes
- TV products want 3rd-party Homescreen Apps to have higher permissions:
- navigator.mozApps.mgmt
- Homescreen App needs to know the app list and manage them on the homescreen. E.g., open app by app.launch().
- open-remote-window
- Homescreen App needs to open bookmarks on the homescreen by window.open() with the OOP mode.
- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=819882
- introduction of window.open launching of bookmark: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/commit/cec11303c8227eb1ad90069bbba2ba2a9b9654dd#diff-394901bbdfad45132d238d38a2ff594a (?)
- Homescreen App needs to open bookmarks on the homescreen by window.open() with the OOP mode.
- mozSettings (needed for partial features like wallpaper, locale info... etc)
- In the current FxOS, the wallpaper is configured by mozSettings and is rendered by System App.
- Homescreen App can fetch the wallpaper from Wallpaper App (by web activities) but still needs to configure it by mozSettings.
- Alternatives
- Design a Wallpaper Settings API
- Let Homescreen App draw the wallpaper
- IAC
- Inter-App Communication API (IAC)
- Homescreen App needs to ask System App to layout the widgets.
- Lockscreen App needs to transfer the lock/unlock state to System App (not for TV products).
- navigator.mozApps.mgmt
