Hello fashionistas, The Mobile Tech Leads met on Wednesday, Oct 17 (NA/AU timezones) to walk down the runway. The discussion <https://docs.google.com/document/d/13ZqcDtmedjAykVveOlZSFYP5tWi2i6G5dCzUuHEBY0U/edit#heading=h.tdu6k3sewynm> focused on two things:
1. Work by Thom Chiovoloni abstracted and improved our Rust FFI boilerplate <https://github.com/mozilla/application-services/pull/293>, consolidating many patterns that had diverged over time. For context, many of the Rust FFI patterns were set down many moons ago by Emily Toop and Grisha Kruglov for Mentat, and have been forked several times. Thom's work carefully consolidates and documents the latest thinking -- hopefully avoiding some sec bugs along the way! 2. WebChannels <https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/JavaScript_code_modules/WebChannel.jsm> in GeckoView-consuming browser-like Apps. WebChannels are a Firefox-specific chome-only feature that allows the browser chrome to communicate via message-passing with trusted Web Content; they are used to integrate Firefox with accounts.firefox.com and addons.mozilla.org. We need something that provides this functionality in the Reference Browser to support a first-class Firefox Accounts experience. Privileged Web Extensions are ideologically pure but don't have a concrete date on the GeckoView roadmap. Suggestions gratefully accepted! Until next week, dress in your haughtiest haute couture and stay beautiful, Nick
