A lot of things to say on this long message :) I'll answer you with my own experience.
First of all, you speak about FxOS 1.2+. I think you're mistaken, you wanted to speak about FxOS 1.3+ yes, the simulator exists for 1.2, but the differences between 1.1 and 1.2 are not big, while the support for flexboxes arrives in 1.3 (and Gecko 28) see https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/B2G_Landing and https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/28.0/releasenotes/ Le vendredi 2 mai 2014 15:45:21 UTC-4, Pablo Brasero Moreno a écrit : > These developers can be divided into these categories: the categories you've given are still developers ;) So, it's our work to know which technology is available or not (moreover, the MDN is very clear on it! see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Flexible_boxes?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=CSS%2FTutorials%2FUsing_CSS_flexible_boxes#Browser_compatibility for the flexbox example) > (Speaking of which: LG is evil.

If you specify it, the reviewer will test your application with a compatible version of FxOS ;) And to answer Pablo Brasero Moreno: I completely agree with you, and the system of autodetection of Mozilla is a good idea (an app that needs geolocation will not be installable on a device that doesn't have it). HOWEVER, this detection is only on JavaScript APIs. I use flexbox in my app, so my app is only available for 1.3+, but there is no detection for it, nor the user will be told that the app won't run on its device! unless the user know its current version of FxOS and read the complete description of the app. You know lots of people that are not in IT that even know what's the name of their phone OS? _______________________________________________ dev-webapps mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-webapps
