[aerogear-dev] javascript api sync

[Erik Jan de Wit]

The cordova crypto plugin can't follow the javascript one-to-one as all the calls have to be asynchronous. So it's not as simple as a dependency, I'll have to change the javascript api of the plugin to follow the javascript. It's a bit dependency hell as it depends on everything iOS android and javascript. Perhaps it would be good for Cordova to have it's own deadline.

Cheers,
	Erik Jan

We could change that this week as there aren't that many people that use the crypto cordova plugin, but we have frozen so what is the point of a freeze when we change things regardless?
