Currently FirefoxOS doesn't allow reinstall from the same origin: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=821288
It means that on a production device it is not possible to reinstall an already installed app and: - hosted apps updates their content like any webapp (e.g. close and reopen the app or window.location.reload, and optionally using applicationCache methods/events) - packaged apps update procedure is managed from the Application.checkForUpdate method (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/DOM/app) During your development iterations you can add the app in the FirefoxOS Simulator dashboard and force app updates using the "Update button", as you can see in this screencast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Py8FCadnOH8 _______________________________________________ dev-webapps mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-webapps
