821115 - Create a model in MySQL for storing app compat data

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Marketplace Graveyard :: Developer Pages, defect)

Description

[Daniel Buchner [:dbuc]]

We need an object that will represent the feature profile for apps submitted to the Marketplace. The feature profile object will be compared to the user's device feature profile object to only present the apps that are compatible with their device/runtime.

The app feature object shall include *at least* the following: https://gist.github.com/4273238

For `device_types` https://gist.github.com/4273238#file-app-feature-profile-L4 do we not want to get more specific like "phone": Firefox OS vs. Firefox for Android phone?

It's a shame we can't store all this info in the manifest (because we already keep a copy of that in the DB), but this structure looks good.

I have updated the gist of the mock object: https://gist.github.com/csuwldcat/4273238

The example profile cannot be done as it is. Each field must be a boolean flag.

> {
>   "packaged": false,

This will not be in the profile since this is a marketplace limitation, not an app limitation.

>   "certified": false,

Certified apps cannot be submitted to the Marketplace (and never will), so this does not belong in the profile.

>   "screen_size": ["small", "medium", "large"],

This should be broken into "supports_narrow", "supports_wide", "supports_large", etc.

>   "input_types": ["pointer", "touch"],

"supports_touch", "supports_click"

>  "payments": {
>    "types": ["free", "subscription"],
>    "providers": ["bango", "paypal"]
>  },

"navigator.mozPay"

The payment provider is not something that the app need be concerned with. Payment type is not something that's even specced.

>   "web_apis": {
>     "mms": {},
>     "flash": {}
>   }
> }

"navigator.mozMms", "supports_flash"

"One column per "feature", one column for version id"

The features are hanging off the app version. E.g. `app.current_version.features.has_sms` will return True or False.
