Because Firefox OS is an HTML5-based operating system, no compile step is needed to process and produce the app. With some of the other supported platforms, you would generally run a build command at this stage to produce the output for the platform.
This will create a directory named hello that contains the project and a basic web app in the hello/$ cd hello (Parameters for the command are described in the Cordova documentation linked above.) $ cordova create hello HelloWorld Once Cordova is installed, an application can be built with the Cordova create command.
Note the installation procedure requires Node.js and can be executed from the command line. The Cordova site explains how to install the software. Creating and building a Firefox OS app in Cordova In this post we will describe how to use these new capabilities. While this is an ongoing project, significant functionality is available now with the 3.4 release of Cordova. Over the past few months, Mozilla has been working with the Cordova team to integrate Firefox OS into the Cordova framework, making it possible to release Cordova apps on the Firefox OS platform. Cordova is also the underlying software in the Adobe product PhoneGap. HTML5 applications can be packaged as native apps via the framework and made available for installation from the app stores of supported platforms, including iOS, Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone-and now Firefox OS. Got a great PhoneGap app? We’d love to send you a device!Ĭordova is a popular Apache Foundation open source project providing a set of device APIs to allow mobile application developers to access native device functions-such as the camera or the accelerometer-from JavaScript. We think this is so cool that we’ve launched a Phones for PhoneGap Apps program, focused specifically on compelling apps built with PhoneGap and/or Cordova. If you’re already building apps with PhoneGap, you can quickly and easily port your existing apps to Firefox OS. Update: In addition to the Cordova integration described below, Firefox OS is now supported in the 3.5 release of Adobe PhoneGap.
