How about this (untested):

let descriptor = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(object, name);
descriptor.value = function(...args)
{
  ...

This doesn't work, because some descriptors can be accessor descriptors. That
means they will have set() and/or get() methods, but no value(). If we also set
value() then a call to defineProperty() will fail, because descriptors cannot be
of both accessor and data types

Which APIs are returned using a getter? I find it surprising that any would be.

[Oleksandr, 2017/11/06 10:14:18]

For example `setUnintstallUrl`, as it says on the line below ;)

Ah right, well you could just delete the getter and setters.

let descriptor = Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(object, name);
delete descriptor["get"];
delete descriptor["set"];
descriptor.value = function(...args)
{
  ...

This also makes me wonder why did they use a getter? Could the function change
at some point in the future, in which case breaking our wrapper?

[Oleksandr, 2017/11/08 13:58:09]

I guess we'll just have to see. I don't know why they used a getter.

What do you think about that Manish?

+    // Some descriptors like setUninstallURL are in fact accessor descriptors.
+    // We convert them to data descriptors.
+    let descriptor = {
+      enumerable: oldDescriptor.enumerable,
+      configurable: oldDescriptor.configurable,
+      writable: oldDescriptor.writable
+    };
+    descriptor.value = (...args) =>

Functions and arrow functions have different semantics. Since this is an API
wrapper here, I think maybe it's better to make it a normal function.

[kzar, 2017/11/06 08:52:01]

Agreed

[Oleksandr, 2017/11/06 09:05:00]

Done.
