@Stefan-Zucca how did you create the small test app by copying and pasting an existing app, if you don't mind me asking...

@Boken-Lin said in Develop your App:

@a-v

• App store is in private beta right now, and will be publicly available in the January II release of the console.
• Omega apps are divided into two parts, the front end is written in HTML5, and as @Stefan-Zucca mentioned, written in Polymer. The backend of the Omega can be written in whatever language we support, Python, PHP, etc. We currently write our backend in C/C++.
• There is an app in the console called onion-app-template that you can check out as an example. It is disabled by default, but you can change the icon setting in app.json.
• We have general guidelines to review apps before making them public for all the users. There will also be a rating system, so a bad rating for an app will signify poorly-made or even harmful apps.

Hope this answers your questions.

where exactly is the apps.json file found?

Are there still some apps on the device that can be accessed? Or has the Omega changed its intended use case?

@Boken-Lin said in How to get in private beta of Onion App Store?:

@JC-Ko We are actually going to be releasing the App Store in the coming weeks.

Is anything happening with this? It seems nothing has been implemented on this front? Please advise.

Would love if you could create offline / paper-wallets for bitcoin on the device, all automated and all that.

this is a nice idea. It is something that i am looking into. I actually had the notion of creating a node on the Omega - but i am not sure that it will be possible. Will be looking into this further during the month - i only received my Omega2+ last week - and i will keep you posted.
