Sure, but on the other hand nothing stops you for coming up with ideas and solutions and potential work-arounds. I very well experienced the conundrum deployment hassle is all about. Someone might also argue that once you set-up your base environment you'll just increase with a delta the things that you work on. From my point of view deployment of what you're working seems to be the most painful to deal with. Applications developers might as well download a pre-built image and use that, but problem from what I see is how you create a development set-up. Maybe something like [1]? It a bit unrealistic to assume that you'll be installing packages all the time, most of your time you'll be spending compiling/packaging/deploying. But then again, this has really nothing to do with AGL but with how yocto/OE is used for, or better said intended to be used for. But on top of that, you'll also need to take care of labeling system. I guess some first steps would be to determine a) how to provide a package repository -- I assume the target here to avoid spending time on the initial yocto build/deployment and b) how to change the package recipes as to 'carry' across the SMACK labels, but see below. There's also some other considerations to take into account: while system applications are using a package system, applications are bundled in a zip file. You would normally transfer them to your target platform and use the AFM to install it. There seems to be some documentation how to do that using [2].
