Do you know which regions? This seems strange as it's so easy to forge (e.g., I can just put Microsoft as an author if I want). > Japan! Everything I know is about Japan! Not sure if itıll happen >anywhere else, but the Japanese government has set guidelinesı for apps >to make available the author, the permissions and author contact details. >(Takagi-san from KDDI may know more). >From the research I did, I was not able to find any other runtime that makes use of this info. It's only really used by curated stores. This is the reason why I dumped them from the manifest spec: declaration of authorship is kinda useless. It would be better to get such info from a digital cert. signed by a reputable CA (as browsers already do with banking sites, etc). Yeah I think you probably have a much better understanding of the pros/cons than I do. It was just an interesting addition to the permissions manager. I wonder though if users would just like to see this anyway? This email and its attachments are intended for the above named only and may be confidential.
