Hi all,

After a lot of search, I can't find a way to install a privileged application 
in a device that does not come from the market place.

Is it really impossible?

I need to show the application I'm developing running on a device to a client 
that is on the other side of the world.
I can't just tell them to run a script on the device to allow a dummy trust 
store so that they can install an application from a webserver, as shown in 
this post.

As the application needs access to device contacts and local storage, the 
application needs to be privileged, and really has to be packaged.

If it was an Android application, I would just send the self signed .apk, they 
would go to the settings, allow untrusted sources applications and proceed with 
the installation.

To do this on Firefox OS, I would have to send a device with the application 
via plane to show my progress? Shouldn't user have the last word on this 
decisions and just allow that a installPackage() for a privileged app can be 
run from a random webserver?
