Getting started on smart signage dev - html

I wanted to develop a stand alone HTML5 app on Samsung Smart Signage. I am trying to find the sdk and some documentation to get started but I couldn't find any. Could anyone please point me … to the right resources to get started on Digital Signage development in HTML5? Thanks a lot in advance!

Check this out: http://displaysolutions.samsung.com/aboutUs/faqList?method=list&sflag2=534&sflag3=542&sflag4=545&pageNo=1
I was unable to get to the SDK download page though, as the Samsung Logins are still notoriously bad as they have always been.

TestFlight API and stats with as3

I'm using TestFlight to test my app.
I uploaded on itunesConnect and after some problems, now it works fine and I think I understood itunesConnect's flow.
Now I want to monitor the user experience (just for my testers) and I want to know where the user is clicking and if sometimes the app crashes.
I remember that TestFlight had some API to do this, but now I can't find them!
Maybe it was an old features when it wasn't buy from Apple. I don't know... but I don't find any good information about the API.
I'm working inside Flash Builder using as3. Any idea?
Thanks a lot!
As I mentioned in my comments, this is not acheivale at full by ItunesConnect and its App Analytics, I am using and recommend you to try this tool: https://www.appsee.com/ it matches what you want and shows really good UX analytics.

Automation Testing for Chrome

I was hoping you could point me in the correct direction. I am trying to find an automation tool for an internal Chrome site that I, as a tester, can use to create tests. I would prefer some kind of recording type option and free or very low cost. And it MUST work on Chrome. Our app doesn't work with any other browser
Here's what I've looked at so far:
I am not going to have time to learn any new languages or have access to a developer, so Cucumber is out (this was the company's first choice).
I found the Ghost add-on that records, but it needs to open the firewall to be used. BIG no no.
I looked at sikuli, but we can't have a dedicated screen like that, although it might still be a last ditch option
TestComplete might work, but it costs money. I am going to download the free trial, but the justification may not be enough to get the company to spend the money
SoapUI is something I've worked with before and I know that only the Pro is helpful to a non-programmer like myself.
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks!
You could look at Robot Framework. It is a keyword driven test automation framework and it has good Chrome support via Selenium. Web page has examples how to write tests for browsers.
Robot Framework is open source and free. Writing tests with keywords looks more difficult than using record-playback tool. However, once you have several tests, managing them will be easier with keywords.

How do I package an HTML5 web app as an Android app?

I have been searching the Internet for hours and I still have no idea what it is or what to do - I was assigned this task by my boss.
Please somebody just give me a step-by-step guide on what to do. I can look up the individual steps on my own; I just need to know the process.
And please don't post links; I have been doing that for the past hour and I just need someone to give me a brief outline (kind of like what Wikihow or eHow does).
Thank you.
If your application is all in HTML, you can use a framework such as Apache Cordova (formerly known as PhoneGap) to package it into an Android app.
There are instructions on the official website on how to do that: http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.5.0/guide_platforms_android_index.md.html#Android%20Platform%20Guide

Chrome extension development on Ubuntu is like a pain

I am developing my first extension for Chrome and as I am working on Ubuntu, I've encountered two awful bugs.
The first thing is that chrome.i18n.getUILanguage is not supported! (console gives me an error about unsupported method). The thing is that this problem is not listed on any WIKI page, which may become tricky for beginners. Anyone had similar issue? For now, I am using window.navigator.language.
The second bug is about rich notifications that are not supported (anyone knows when it will be released?). As far as I know, when the app will be about to send a notification, the scripts will stop due to the error (similar to the first bug). I am not sure if there is possibility to develop different packages for different platforms, but if I want my extension to be truly multi-platform, I will have to give up development of this feature.
Any suggestions or thoughts?
Thanks,
As i said earlier in a comment, it seems to be not supported with linux mint either where i'm developing the chrome extension.
In this link a member of the chrome team said that they submitted it... but this is not true.
Thanks for the window.navigator.language alternative.

Wrapping a HTML5 app into an executable for Windows/Linux/Mac

I'm building a HTML5 mobile app which I'm going to wrap in an Android and an iOS app with a simple web view. However, I have some users that use my current Adobe Air app (which is now unsupported), and I'd like to offer them this new app I'm building.
I've heared that Adobe Air's implementation of webkit is rather old and unstable.
Is there any good tools for wrapping a local browser (preferably webkit) and my app in an executable for cross-platform (PC) use?
I've just seen this http://appjs.org/ and I'm glad to see that Alex's TideSDK sounds great also !
Adobe AIR can do what you want, but I won't support that solution : it's slow and not really crossplatform since they drop the support on Linux if I'm correct.
If someone happen to test the others, feedback is welcome !
Off topic: Moreover I've chosen not to trust Adobe for my technical choices anymore. We've waited Flash on mobile for years, they drop the idea. We've been waiting for optimization on Mac and Linux for years, but nobody cares. The new hype some months ago was expecting compilation to HTML5, it's just some buzzwords mixed together and some old sketchy alpha version as far as I know.
EDIT
AppJS has moved http://appjs.com/
EDIT
node-webkit seems to be definitely a must see now ! https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit
Read an article lately about this sdk: http://www.tidesdk.org/ . I haven't worked with it yet - so can't really say if it's worth trying and doing what you want.
