It'd be neat for PWAs to be able to morph into Chrome Apps (like the ones from Chrome Webstore) and that the applications can ask for certain permissions at runtime.

Unless I've missed it and it already exists, I think this would be awesome.

Oops, I've missed this announcement about discontinuing Chrome Apps: https://blog.chromium.org/2016/08/from-chrome-apps-to-web.html

I've been developing on Chrome OS, so I hadn't noticed the disappearance of the apps because they still work there.

It'd be awesome for PWAs to be able to request all sorts of permissions at runtime similar to Android apps.

Is this already the plan?

Looks like I missed this too: https://w3c.github.io/permissions/

So, it *seems* like it's planned. I hope it doesn't take forever!

Please feel free to close this issue then. If you have any more Chrome-specific details, please do share. Thanks!

Closing this bug given #2. Though we are interested in improving PWAs on Chrome OS!
