There's no feedback about how long a packaged app takes to install, so sideloading an app ~80 MB seems to just hang, as you have no idea how long to wait for it to load (90s+ by my count). This would be super helpful. Unfortunately, I cannot attach my test case.
Yes, it's quite slow right now. Bug 924574 will make it significantly faster, but even then that will only help future OS releases. We should at least log some progress in the mini-console.

How about a progress indicator since the app size is known in advance?
(In reply to Panos Astithas [:past] from comment #2) > How about a progress indicator since the app size is known in advance? Yeah, probably a more reasonable idea. :) Any location sound good? Perhaps next to the project action buttons (Update / Debug / etc.)?
(In reply to J. Ryan Stinnett [:jryans] from comment #3) > Perhaps next to the project action buttons (Update / Debug / etc.)? Sounds perfect.
Just FYI, in bug 919502 (which I'm supposed to be working on), I introduced a spinner.

Not working on this for now. Seems best to address this with UI v2.

But if it makes you happier this way, keep it. :)
