This is orthogonal to the signing issue. A downloadable package Web app could still be signed by the developer himself. What Boris was hitting at is the overhead of Marketplace/Appstore where people need to go through a series of step before being approved for distribution. Here it's about making sure a user can download (or use online) an app and knowing it is not a fake app but the one that the developer has been releasing. The update issue is another one, which is about 1. how do I make sure that two version of the same packaged app can run side by side. 2. how do I make sure that I don't want to be upgraded to the new version without me asking for this upgrade. Two important use cases. -- Karl Dubost, Mozilla http://www.la-grange.net/karl/moz _______________________________________________ dev-b2g mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-b2g
