My apologies, I've not directly used the "origin" property so I've linked
the comment
from the simulator issues where I've read about it the first time, but I
realize that
I wasn't clear enough.

The origin property let the developer to choose the origin part
of the packaged app origin (app://ORIGIN), and then he can configure his
own server
to accept request from that url using CORS, am I right?

Best,
Luca
