User Story

APK FACTORY
- A Cloud service to make APKs from Open Web Apps
1. Verify input is valid
2. Generate APK signing key for each developer*
3. Sign the APK

- Cache the APK for use at install time
- Create new APK signing keys for most developers
- Store and use legacy APK signing keys for Android-savvy developers

DOWNLOAD / INSTALL
- native flow, with standard install confirmation dialog
- dialog lists permissions requested by privileged apps
- user must enable “unknown sources”; Marketplace/Firefox can help explain/direct
- reinstall from same Marketplace will update existing app, but reinstall from different Marketplace may duplicate app
- TBD how to handle reinstall of app installed as bookmark

USE & MANAGE
- launch via native Home, All Apps, and Recents screens
- quit, switch, and manage apps via native interfaces
- app appears like native app in all Android interfaces
- runtime prompts to access privileged APIs, à la FxOS
- TBD crash reporting and permissions management

UPDATE & REMOVE
- runtime will periodically check for and download updates
- should be similar to native update
- native remove flow
- if user removes Firefox, app prompts user to reinstall it
- TBD persist app data after Firefox removal
