Description
We want to implement the Google Chrome Web Store hosted apps.
The web store: http://chrome.google.com/webstore
Some requirements:
- The installed web apps should be visible in about:applications
- We should show the description in about:applications. Also, description should be added as comment in the desktop file.
- Parse the manifest, and fetch the web application information needed (including the name, description, and launchpath, icon).
- The origin of web app should be the one of the launch path. But we should additionally limit the origin filtering with url fields in manifest, if provided. In this case the URL's can specify other different origins that the application should consider as valid.
- Adapt the install dialog to take into account the requirements for the Google Chrome hosted apps.
- Implement the javascript API: chrome.webstorePrivate.getWebGLStatus, chrome.webstorePrivate.beginInstallWithManifest3, chrome.management.getAll, chrome.management.launchApp, chrome.management.uninstall, and signals chrome.management.onInstalled and chrome.management.onUninstalled.
