- +This document describes application framework fundamentals. FCF (Fully Conform to Specification) implementation is still under development. It may happen that current implementation somehow diverges with specifications.
+The application framework on top of the security framework provides components to install and uninstall applications as well as to run them in a secured environment.
+The goal of the framework is to manage applications and hide security details to applications.
+For the reasons explained in introduction, it was choose not to reuse Tizen application framework directly, but to rework a new framework inspired from Tizen.
+fundamentals remain identical: the applications are distributed in a digitally signed container that should match widget specifications normalized by the W3C. This is described by the technical recommendations widgets and widgets-digsig of the W3 consortium.
+As today this model allows the distribution of HTML, QML and binary applications but it could be extended to any other class of applications.
+The management of widget package signatures. Current model is only an initial step, it might be extended in the future to include new feature (ie: incremental delivery).
+The main path for applications are: APPDIR/PKGID/VER.
Where:
-This organisation has the advantage to allow several versions to leave together. -This is needed for some good reasons (rolling back) and also for less good reasons (user habits).
- - -All the files are installed as the user “userapp” and group “userapp”. -All files have rw(x) for user and r-(x) for group and others.
- -This allows any user to read the files.
- - -The data of a user are in its directory and are labelled using the labels of the application
- - -The advantage of such an organization is to allow several versions to live together. This is required for multiple reasons (ie: roll back) and to comply with developers habits.
