Thanks, Mathias. Mathias Bynens <[email protected]> writes: > Question 1: Are they supportive of the Generic Sensor API?
Officially, no. It has been quite a while since we last asked them though. See the discussion with Mozilla here: - https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/35 and their corresponding standards position here: - https://mozilla.github.io/standards-positions/#generic-sensor WebKit didn't have a standards position tracker back then, but they did comment on the Mozilla issue above: - https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/35#issuecomment-718365969 We've been trying to address the concerns in the Devices and Sensors WG over the years and this will probably come up in some form at TPAC as well. With that said... > Question 2: Have they provided any signals on the proposed automation > endpoint? I have not asked them given the above (and Apple is not part of the WG, so it's also hard to ask for feedback on any specifics of the new text). Personally, I'd like to do a few things before discussing this API with WebKit and Mozilla again: - Land these automation changes to remove the semi-dependency on Mojo from the web tests so that it's a lot easier for other implementations to test their code. - Sort out any permission-related issues the spec might have (although this is more of an implementation issue, with the Generic Sensors and Device Orientation APIs in Blink not asking for permission by default at the moment). - Figure out if the Device Orientation spec (which all engines implement) itself needs to be more tightly coupled with the Generic Sensor API, at least for automation, for it to be testable in an interoperable way. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "blink-dev" group.
