Command-line tools to install packaged and hosted apps using the Firefox OS remote debugging protocols.
Makefile: (Packaged app only) Package all files from folder intoapplication.zipMakefile: Move important files to phone viaadbMakefile: Forward remote debugging port (6000) from device to computer (viaadb)Makefile: Runinstall.jsviaxpcshellinstall.js: Remotely install app from folder using the Webapp Actor.
The script infers the app id, which is required for the install script, from the last folder in the app path. Optionally it can be provided in the command line via ID=. The id should to be lower case.
Extract the following packages ~/bin.
If you choose a different path, change the variables in Makefile):
XPCSHELL = ~/bin/xulrunner-sdk/bin/xpcshell
ADB = ~/bin/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb

Enable Remote Debugging in Settings > Device Information > Developer.
See folder my-package. Your app should at least have an index.html and a manifest.webapp with the correct launch_path. App type can be either web or privileged.
Install packaged app from folder ``
make FOLDER=my-package packaged install
From another folder:
make FOLDER=~/Sites/mobile-dev packaged install
From another folder, setting app id (recommended if the folder name is not useful as unique app id):
make FOLDER=~/Sites/mobile-dev/web ID=mobile-dev packaged install
See my-hosted folder. Your folder only needs to contain manifest.webapp and a metadata.json. In most cases you only need to adapt origin in metadata.json and launch_path in the manifest.
Install hosted app from folder my-hosted:
make FOLDER=my-hosted hosted install
