As many of you have pointed out to me, you cannot use WebIDE to install the new format add-ons. I filed this just now: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1198433
In the meantime, to install and test the new add-ons you can use the Hackerplace! Here's what you do: Install the latest Firefox OS on your device. Add your app metadata to the v2 app list [1]. Set the DEBUG flag to true here [2]. run `npm install && gulp build` Install the Hackerplace app using WebIDE or sole's excellent install-to-adb [3]. You should see your add-on in the list there, and be able to install it. Let me know if you have any questions! 1.) https://github.com/fxos/directory/blob/1b05c8d5b24127fc6b8d20001ec460215677e0d0/app/apps-v2.json 2.) https://github.com/fxos/directory/blob/1b05c8d5b24127fc6b8d20001ec460215677e0d0/app/js/model/list_model.js#L3 3.) https://github.com/sole/install-to-adb On Thu, Aug 20, 2015 at 3:30 PM, Michael Henretty <mhenre...@mozilla.com> wrote: > Hi all, > > Earlier, Fabrice sent out a nice how-to guide for migrating your add-ons > to the new format [1].
