I mentioned before that Michal, Braden and I were going to try and write plugins to get Chrome packaged apps running withing Cordova. Just wanted to share that we have the first basic steps of this working! :)
We still have a tonne of APIs to implement, but now have the basic bootstrapping mechanism working. The packaged app's background page is implemented using a hidden iframe, and when the background page calls chrome.app.window.create(), we re-write the parent window. It works for a couple of the chrome chrome-app-samples<https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-app-samples>that don't use any extra APIs. The Calculator and the Weather app in particular are functional within Cordova using our shim. If you're interested, you can see our progress here: https://github.com/MobileChromeApps/chrome-cordova So yeah, early stages, but thought I'd share :) Andrew
