[aerogear-dev] Cordova Ouath2 plugin using Google Play Services

[Brian Leathem]

Hey gear-heads,

I recently wrote a Cordova plugin that retrieves a Oauth2 token on
Android using Google Play Services.  The advantage of this approach is
it leverages the single-sign-on capabilities of android, and the app can
retrieve the Oauth2 token without requiring Authentication from the
user. I blogged about it here:

http://www.bleathem.ca/blog/2015/02/cordova-oauth-google-services.html

Using a promise-based API it's fairly trivial to fallback to a
traditional Web authentication/authorisation for the Oauth2 token when
the google-play-services approach isn't supported.

I'm aware the aerogear team has a Oauth2 cordova plugin [1], but it's
not clear to me if the google-play-services integration is supported. 
If the Aerogeam would find it useful, I'd be more than happy to provide
a PR to the aerogear cordova plugin providing such integration.

Thoughts?
Brian
