1027185 - [email] switch manifest type back to certified

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::E-Mail, defect)

Description

[James Burke [:jrburke]]

Bug 1018534 switched the manifest to "privileged". However, Gaia apps (via the "certified" type) are used as a beta area for new platform features, and email will need to keep up with the rest of the Gaia apps. In particular, /shared resources may use newer features and email depends on them.

This dev-platform thread provides some more background:

The fix for this should not be a straight git revert of the changeset for bug 1018534, since that changeset also fixed a test issue. Just the switch to "certified" and the removal of tapping on the permission dialog need to be changed.
