Please don’t list before it is ready for testing. Ask in support channels how to test on a phone.
Well, that makes sense. So I signed app using Web and tried on install phone. But I couldn’t find a way to install addon from xpi in firefox phone. Does anyone has idea how to test on phones?
Thanks in advance.
Sure, make sure to read these two articles:
https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/getting-started-with-web-ext/
https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/developing-extensions-for-firefox-for-android/
After you setup everything, you should be able to test your extension even without a phone - just install Android Studio with some Google Play enabled virtual phone and install Firefox there. Then you should be able to execute something like this:
web-ext run --target=firefox-android --android-device=emulator-5554 --firefox-apk=org.mozilla.firefox_beta
Regarding supported API - mostly just make sure to somehow disable all browser.windows calls, since these are not supported (because there is only one window).
List of all API is here:
