I want to begin Firefox OS development, but I'm a bit lost. I've tried researching in the past, but there were never direct answers to my questions and I'm assuming some of the problems I've run into are just because some things aren't ready yet (for example I saw remote debugging is disabled until it's changed to be reimplemented).
Anyways the point is I want to test my web app so I can bring it to my Firefox Phone and hopefully continue to develop for Firefox OS. The big problem I ran into in the past is that I haven't been able to test a local app on the Firefox OS Simulator. I don't have a website of my own and it seems that by uploading it to my school's site, it forces one of a set of MIME types that makes Firefox OS not recognize the manifest.webapp file. Either that, or I set up my manifest.webapp file wrong, which I'm fairly certain I didn't. If I need to, I can set up a server on my own computer so that it's ideal for testing, but I'm pretty new to that (I've only truly immersed myself into server-sided development over the past few months). The next problem is testing the app on my phone. Is there a way to get it on there without have it uploaded somewhere? From what I've seen, there's no way to access the OS's files at all, except by a MicroSD card (which doesn't really help). I'm using the GP Peak, if that helps figure out the answer. And is there currently any way to debug the app while it's running live? I saw remote debugging is disabled, but I'm not so sure how necessary that is given that I have a USB cable to plug into my computer (unless that'd be considered remote debugging too). And last (which kinda ties into the question I just asked), how can I modify the OS? If I could somehow get access to the actual file system on the phone, that'd be a great start and I could probably go from there on my own.
