That is indeed what I've settled on, but I find it a bit clunky. After all, my
app isn't really part of gaia. I know the simulator add-on can install apps to
the simulator while it's running (I believe using xpcscript or whatever it is),
but I couldn't manage to nail down what code in there was using it.
It uses the remote debugging protocol, so most of the code is in Firefox
and the Simulator (which contains the webapps "actor" that responds to a
request to install an app), although there is some glue code in the addon.
So it's not a goal to add some kind of "add this app" command so one can add
something to a built profile? Seems like it would be useful for testing. Just curious!
We don't have any plans to do this for the Simulator, but it does seem
like it'd be useful. And it'd be pretty easy to add to the Developer
Toolbar command line, which already has a few Simulator-related commands
<https://github.com/mozilla/r2d2b2g/blob/master/addon/lib/main.js#L152-L184>.
Then the flow for (re)installing an app would be something like:
Shift-F2
firefoxos install [name]
Where [name] is any case-insensitive substring of the app name. And
Shift-F2 is only needed if the toolbar isn't already focused. While
"firefox install [name]" can be retrieved from the command history with
the up arrow.
Would that satisfy your use case, or would the command need to be
available in a terminal?
