Hi Sharath, OS templates are required only for profile view. Canvas view will continue to work as it is working [though we might switch to caja in future].
We are working on os:NavigateToView support and will get back to you as soon as it's available. I am also hoping that we'll soon start showing apps with os templates on profile view. We'll detect that from the xml and no separate submission/whitelisting would be required.
