758128 - Add the Manifest Builder

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Developer Pages, enhancement, P5)

Description

[Gregory Koberger (:gkoberger)]

Attachment: Manifest mockup

Code: https://github.com/gkoberger/zamboni/commit/2b14079
Spec: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kxHfrJ4U8-s_VA_btoQMzprI2tcmmYCONx25eMsgBC8/edit

Notes:
* Review this code. I seem to remember putting tmp files somewhere and not cleaning them up.
* The code above doesn't add resized images. We should do that.
* Later we can add advanced features such as "launch_path" or whatever else. Let's do a basic one first. (name, description, resized icon images)

This is something we've discussed about implementing to help ease the manifest creation->app submission process. A once over from UX would be awesome.

We might add a manifest builder to the devhub in the general context of the app generator.

It has to be. If editor/templates/validation (and whatever else I might be forgetting) are not good enough, let's drive the requirements over there, not layer on additional user paths. Hit me up if you have concerns.
