Is there any plan to support the Firefox OS Web APIs in Intel XDK?

Question

Intel XDK is a really promising tool for X-platform development.

Is Firefox OS considered as a supported platform for it?

Answer 1

Firefox OS is not currently supported by the Intel XDK. Could it be supported? Yes. Will it be supported? Not sure. As of this writing, our primary targets are those that support the Cordova API and the recently introduced Crosswalk runtime for Android. (The new Crosswalk target includes a Cordova 3.0 implementation.)

There are a lot of questions that need to be answered in order to support Firefox OS, mostly having to do with how do we support the Firefox OS API AND make your test/debug experience meaningful within the XDK. At the moment the only device APIs we can help you test and debug in a meaningful way are the Cordova and Intel XDK device APIs.
