How to get the MSISDN on firefox OS

Question

I'm developing a web application for Firefox OS, and I need to get the MSISDN. I'm using a privileged app.

here is my manifest :

{
"version": "0.1",

"type": "privileged",
"permissions": {
"mobileid": {
"description": "Needed for MSISDN"
}
},
"name": "My app",
"description": "My app",
"launch_path": "/index.html",
"icons": {
"16": "/assets/icons/icon16.png",
"48": "/assets/icons/icon48.png",
"128": "/assets/icons/icon128.png"
},
"developer": {
"name": "YasserB.",
"url": ""
},
"default_locale": "fr"
}

I'm using firefox OS Mobile id permission.

and I'm using that code to get the MSISDN

var msisdn = navigator.mozMobileConnection.iccInfo.msisdn;

i'm getting an error :

TypeError: navigator.mozMobileConnection is undefined

You are not using the MobileID API, but the MobileConnection one (which btw is for certified apps only) in your code.

Adding the mobileid permission to your manifest you should be able to call navigator.getMobileIdAssertion(). Note that this API requires the user to accept sharing the phone number with your application.
