Hi,
We need to use some APIs with priviledge levels as contacts, own number,
etc.

How can we create the app and install in a developer device to test all the
functionality before submitting for approvals?

regards and thanks
juan

Hi Juan,

Are you aware of the Firefox OS Simulator?
https://marketplace.firefox.com/developers/docs/firefox_os_simulator

That page links to instructions on how to install it, use it to run
privileged apps and push apps to a developer device for testing.

Thanks Ben,

We use the simulator and also a Keon device, the point is that the APIs we
need to use are priviledged and the ones that the simulator is not covering
(taking contacts and own number)

Hi Juan,

Can you describe what it is you have tried so far and what hasn't worked?

As far as I know you should be able to install a privileged app with access
to the Contacts API on both the simulator and the device.
