Dude, this post wins for best title but also a big THANK YOU for doing all this legwork. I moved into the wiki to help collab/tracking here http://wiki.apache.org/cordova/Core%20API%20Audit
Goals are perfectly in line w/ what I'd say is "The Cordova Way". (Irony quotes somewhat intentional.) A quick stab at open queries: > - StatusBar Notifications: Intended for background services to notify a > user to start some action (instead of just doing the action without users' > explicit intent) -- so what does this mean for iOS without background > services? I *think* a fallback to local notification would be the way to handle this. (But implementation will probably uncover better.) > - Are StatusBar notifications ever useful in foreground? Is that against > some design principle? Leave that decision to the app developer? (fwiw: > w3c spec seems to be a little vague, but no where does it say that > notifications are to be used only while in background) Totally a user space concern. > - Push Notifications on ios: Can we intercept these when app is not in > foreground, or must we just rely on default system behavior? What do you mean intercept? You mean can we invoke code if the user ignores?
