Hi,

We are going to add metric support to the cordova push plugin. This
functionality was introduced in the 2.x version of the android push
lib. The android 2.x version uses 'aar' for packaging. This means the
new version can only be used with cordova android platform 4.0 as that
introduced 'aar' framework support.

Or we use a source include, we do that for the oauth2 plugin, it might
also open the option to get inclusion into phonegap build as binary
dependencies are not allowed there.

I may be showing my Java bias but upgrading to Cordova 4 and leaning against the aar sounds the most "correct".

However if doing a source include is not a maintenance nightmare (IE someone has to manually update the sources all the time) AND it gets us in phonegap's official packaging system then +1 to that.

For the metrics in cordova we can make it super easy and fully
automatic all you'll have to do is add "sendMetricInfo": true in your
pushConfig:

var pushConfig = {
pushServerURL: "http://localhost:8080/ag-push",
sendMetricInfo: true,
android: {
senderID: "<senderID 123>",
variantID: "<variantID e.g. 1234456-234320>",
variantSecret: "<variantSecret e.g. 1234456-234320>"
},
ios: {
variantID: "<variantID e.g. 1234456-234320>",
variantSecret: "<variantSecret e.g. 1234456-234320>"
}
};

I thought that a requirement of metrics was that it is the developer who picks when to send them not the library?
