This has landed. Tomorrow’s desktop Nightly will upload richer client records;
Wed or Thur’s Android Nightly likewise.
You’ll see new payload fields:
"device": "Nexus 7",
"appPackage": "org.mozilla.fennec_rnewman",
"id": "enQ9iVZLzRrN",
"version": "36.0a1",
"name": "Fennec rnewman on Nexus 7",
"application": "Fennec rnewman",
"formfactor": "smalltablet",
"type": "mobile",
"os": "Android",
"protocols": [
"1.1",
"1.5"
],
for Android, and
"id": "6hylTLQOYPKd",
"name": "rnewman's Nightly on jetfire",
"type": "desktop",
"version": "36.0a1",
"protocols": [
"1.1",
"1.5"
],
"os": "Darwin",
"appPackage": "{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}",
"application": "Nightly"
for desktop.
This will allow clients to tailor their iconography and descriptions; e.g.,
using a tablet icon for Android tablets, or showing a Windows or Mac OS logo,
or showing contextual hints that are real screenshots of the appropriate device
OS.
Two follow-up bugs (Bug 1100722, Bug 1100723) track adding formfactor and
hardware fields on desktop.
