No more authohosted app!
MS announced that the Office 365 Autohosted Apps Preview program will end on June 30, 2014.
So now we have 2 left: SharePoint-hosted, provider-hosted.

App model to solve security issues of full trust solutions.

When to use the App Model

Sync in app web not possible?

 referenced me (didn't help) to Sync button for Document Library created with custom list definition in order to resolve the issue I am having.
Here is an issue:

I need to have a library in SharePoint-hosted app that can be synced via OneDrive Sync Tool in SpOnline.
as of 4/29/2014, I can't make it happen:

The sharepoint-hosted app has a library. Once deployed (SPOnline), I see the instance. 
The sync button is disabled on the doc panel...
I have checked the  Sync button for Document Library created with custom list definition and did as prescribed, but the issue remains. 
Here what I did as the article said:
1. Checked the feature id that delivers the list and list instance:
FeatureId="7ea48d05-ba84-4553-b5ab-0d02118c86f4"

 2. Modified element.xml:

in the list template:
  • changed the type to 101;
  • added FeatureId="7ea48d05-ba84-4553-b5ab-0d02118c86f4";
  • changed DocumentTemplate to "10000".
in the list instance template:
  • changed the type to 101;
  • added FeatureId="7ea48d05-ba84-4553-b5ab-0d02118c86f4".



 After that, re-deployed to SharePoint Online:
The sync button is still disabled
If somebody knows solution, please help me out!
Thanks

P.S.
The same wsp from App deployed as a sandboxed solution on the same site collection does allow me to sync docs from the lib

P.S.S.
And here is almost official response: NO, APP WEB LIB WON'T SYNC

Error occurred in deployment step 'Install App for SharePoint': packagePath



In case you have started SharePoint 2013 Apps Development and you use remote deployment (How to Deploy Apps Remotely to the Office 365 Preview) , you might experience a following error when you click "Deploy":
Error occurred in deployment step 'Install App for SharePoint': packagePath

To resolve the issue:
Make sure that project name and package name are the same.
Clean the project after renaming, and then deploy

Explanation:
Deploy triggers some MS Build actions and one of them at one point is trying to find a package name based on the project name in the folder: bin\[Release\Publish]\app.publish
But since you package has a different name than the project, the action couldn't find a package to deploy.

I would prefer to have more descriptive error in VS with the specific path though....Now, after we discover the reason of failure behind , it's much clearer what "Error occurred in deployment step 'Install App for SharePoint': packagePath" means.
