Risks

Interoperability and Compatibility

We introduced a mechanism that allows developers to test the availability of this feature, so websites can make backwards compatible calls.



Gecko: No signal. Will ask for positions after some prototyping.


WebKit: No signal. Will ask for positions after some prototyping.


Web developers: Positive. We have heard extensively from web developers that this is a meaningful addition to the web in this thread: https://github.com/w3c-fedid/idp-registration/issues/2


Other signals:


WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

None



Debuggability

We added some console.log() messages on failure cases. More to come as we move along.



Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests?

Just a few basic ones while we are still learning what’s the right framing for this API:
