AFAIK privileged apps need marketplace approval (in a form of some kind of 
signing) which ATM can not be avoided/worked around.

The least you could do - as I have heard - some managed to build a local GAIA 
build that included their app in the build itself and replaced (flashed) the 
whole system GAIA with their custom app in-built. This approach might just work 
for you, and for testing purposes might come in handy (but I agree, that this 
is not the most developer-friendly way to test an application).

For specifics and how-to-s I can not say anything more about the subject - 
haven't tried the method myself, experimenting might get you there, or someone 
may share their experience on the subject later.

Cheers,
Flaki
