As a user, once I confirm an app's installation, if that app requires a download in order to complete installation, I want the Home screen icon to inform me that that download is still in progress and the app is not yet ready to use, so that I am given an indication of the app's inaccessibilty and am not confused when I tap on the icon and the app does not open.

This is requirement AppInstall-007 https://docs.google.com/a/tola.me.uk/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtuYwL8qXqZmdGQtNHJ6S2NxZXlmYVctRS1xbEh3V0E#gid=73

Remaining required feature work listed at http://j.mp/VWpueM is now blocking+ to ensure visibility and tracking, per drivers' decision.

works as per requirement. the icon goes from mini-size to full-size as it's installing and once the installation is complete text is added to the bottom of the icon.

The UX spec specifies that the app icon's visual treatment should change to a "downloading" state. The wireframes show a download arrow superimposed over the icon but Peter is currently working on the visual design. Are you sure this is complete?

We're marking this bug with the C1 milestone since it follows the criteria of "unfinished feature work" (see https://etherpad.mozilla.org/b2g-convergence-schedule). If this work is not finished by Nov19, this bug will need an exception and will be called out at the upcoming Exec Review.

As discussed with Josh Carpenter we will show an infinite spinner in the homescreen (no matter if we know the progress or not). This work has been addressed in Bug 802587 as well \o/

I know I've seen this work bare bones with a hosted app preloading appcache and a packaged app. Marking as verified.
