GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 668273
Add support for Mozilla OpenWebApps
Last modified: 2018-03-30 16:27:49 UTC
We want to implement the Mozilla OpenWebApps standard, as described in https://developer.mozilla.org/en/OpenWebApps Some requirements: * The installed mozilla web apps should be visible in about:applications * We should show the description in about:applications. Also, description should be added as comment in the desktop file. * Support installing web app on trying to fetch an OpenWebApp manifest. The MIME type for this is application/x-web-app-manifest+json * Parse the manifest, and fetch the web application information needed (including the name, description, developer name and url, and launchpath. * The origin of OpenWebApps is always the same of the manifest. * Adapt the install dialog to take into account the requirements for OpenWebApps. * Implement the javascript API (methods navigator.mozApps.install, navigator.mozApps.amInstalled, navigator.mozApps.getInstalledBy. A simple test web store is here: https://apps.mozillalabs.com/appdir/
I've been implementing these requirements, and I'm maintaining the work in a personal branch for epiphany, here: https://github.com/jdapena/epiphany/tree/webapp This includes basic implementation of OpenWebApps, Google Chrome webstore hosted apps, and Google Chrome CRX-less apps. I'm reporting separate bugs for these other apps implementation.
This is a mass NEEDINFO of all Epiphany bugs with no activity in the past three years. I'm going to be automatically closing old bugs to help us focus on current problems. If you feel this bug is still relevant with Epiphany 3.26 or newer, then please leave any comment here so that I know not to close this one.
This is a mass-close of old bugs currently in the NEEDINFO state. If you think this bug is still relevant, please leave a comment.
