[aerogear-dev] PushPlugin

[Erik Jan de Wit]

Hi,

Just to clarify a bit more right now the documentation just to get started with Unified Push notifications and cordova is a page long and includes much code that you should include by hand. When we create our own specific version of the PushPlugin we can reduce this to about the first 3 lines of the documentation. It will still work with the command line tools and with the build, but it will be specific to AeroGear Unified push so contributing this code back to the original plugin will not be very helpful.

Right, I'm fine with that

Does the current plugin benefit from the mainstream Push-as-a-Service vendors?  I am not sure if they participate in the plugin's future feature enhancements - can we keep up or outpace them? 

Don't really know what you mean when you say that Push-as-a-Service vendors will participate in the plugin future enhancements. This plugin is very basic 'native' push integration into cordova. It's only 370 lines of java code and about the same on iOS.

But I was thinking about forking it and making our own version I think Matthias had this idea as well. If you look at the PushPlugin now there is a lot of things that are platform specific. For instance to register you should do:
