Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Core :: DOM: Device Interfaces, defect)

Description

[Nikhil Marathe [:nsm] (No longer reading bugmail, please needinfo?)]

In the vein of bug 857464.

Do we want this?
What security issues does this entail?

Not a high priority unless required.

Comment 1

[Masatoshi Kimura [:emk]]

We shouldn't expose this to random wabpages until/unless we can unprefix the API.

Comment 2

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

Yeah, definitely shouldn't expose without unprefixing.

Comment 3

[Mounir Lamouri (:mounir)]

We could consider make that happen as a Nightly/Aurora only feature if we have plans to push that to Beta/Release.

Comment 4

[Florian Bender]

What's the plan here now? Is this API superseded by Background Sync resp. can this spec replace all use cases of mozAlarms? Or is there cross-vendor spec work going on for the additional functionality provided by the mozAlarms feature?

FxOS/Gonk has been removed from the codebase. Mass-invalidating FxOS related Device Interface bugs to clean up the component. 

If I incorrectly invalidated something, please let me know.
