[aerogear-dev] Should Cordova push plugin dependencies be shrinkwrapped?

[Gorkem Ercan]

Hi All,
I have been working cordova push quickstarts and noticed that on Android
installation through JBoss tools started to fail.

After a  bit of investigation  I figured that the failure occurs because
push plugin defines cordova plugin "com.google.playservices" as a
dependency through a git URL[1] that points to the master of the plugin's
repo. Unfortunately this repo received a change [2] which started to use a
new feature that was not implemented for JBoss tools. In this particular
case, I am already implementing the missing feature so it should be all
good soon. However I have doubts that referencing a dependency through
master is a good idea. I think it may not only make it really difficult for
us to reproduce cases but also unexpected behaviour may just appear.
