AW: Re: [DISCUSS] Remove all documentation translations

[Toplak Daniel]

+1
I'm from germany and have read the some parts of the german docs, only one time.
The quality was poor and not well translated, because maybe some translations 
were made automatically or by a person without the knowledge of every technical 
aspect of cordova.
So I suggest to put the man power into a good english documentation, because 
this should be enough for each developer.

WebRTC (getUserMedia) in cordova-ios on iOS11

[Toplak Daniel]

He devs,

Does anyone played with WebRTC on iOS?

I get a test running only in Safari with iOS 11 Beta 4, but not in a cordova 
app.
Both WKWebView and UIWebView seems to have no support of WebRTC.

I did not find any official thing from apple, besides what'*s new in Safari 11: 
https://developer.apple.com/library/content/releasenotes/General/WhatsNewInSafari/Safari_11_0/Safari_11_0.html
They announce the WebRTC support.

[Toplak Daniel]

The strongest benefit will be "write once" and "target all" :-)
You are right, the most of the app could be run directly in electron without 
cordova, but it will be much lesser effort to have the plugin interface on 
board even if there are not all core plugins supported.

Not to diminish your work, but Atom Electron [1] (also based on Chromium) is 
more aligned with Cordova as it includes node.js support built in (thus you can 
use node modules which is a big plus), and already runs on OS X, Windows and 
Linux. It has also in use by a lot of companies, thus there is a higher 
probability of ongoing maintenance:
http://electron.atom.io/#built-on-electron

In any case, whether through CEF or Atom Electron, to create native plugins you 
will still need to bridge the code using C/C++ (unavoidable), the difference 
would be for Atom Electron you would structure your code as a node native 
module, which gives the advantage that it can be used not just as a Cordova 
plugin, but as a regular node module outside of Cordova.

 I’ll throw in my +1. Electron is awesome, and I’ve used it to wrap a 
 PG project for a client where they are demoing the app to their 
 potential clients because they don’t have devices to share from, and 
 they don’t have the expertise for emulators (they are sales reps). 
 Because I can wrap everything in a simple .exe (plus a couple menu 
 items for switching app themes), it provides enough of a simulation 
 that anyone who can double-click a file can use. (It’s not a perfect 
 sim, of course, but good
 enough.)

 I’d hope that plugins that target the browser would hop on the 
 electron platform as well, because there’s no reason why they 
 shouldn’t work in electron. But I would also imagine that there could 
 be electron-specific which would be very interesting to see. :-)

 So I’m going to be watching this with extreme interest. :-)

AW: Does Cordova have a problem making developers happy?

[Toplak Daniel]

Absolutely right :-)

Cordova is too easy in some situations and most of the developers using cordova 
(not the cordova developers itself) are knowing nothing about the plugin system 
under the hood, or anything about the JS-Native-JS bridge. 
They even don't know anything about the asynchronos communitcation with plugins.

In most situations this is absolutely ok, but if anything special is needed or 
something goes wrong, then they have a problem.

The other thing is that there are some JS frameworks/libs which are not the 
best for mobile devices. No I don't name anyone of that :-)

My point of view is, that they don't see the real power of the cordova 
framework and create sloppy/buggy UI's.

Cordova is the most hated form of Mobile Development, because everyone can 
create a Cordova app, and the quality of most Cordova applications is 
absolutely terrible.  If you're inheriting a Cordova application from another 
company, you're probably going to end up re-writing it and if you're an iOS or 
Android shop, re-implementing it natively because that's what you're more 
comfortable with.

And I'm perfectly OK with that.

Wordpress and LAMP stacks aren't going away any time soon, and both those 
technologies share the same property that anyone can create a shitty website.  
We've been called the Drupal of development for a reason, and at the time we 
were called that, I took it as an insult because I think Drupal is shitty (I 
once inherited a bad Drupal project).  I don't think we should care what 
developers say in a survey, since most developers are terrible anyway.  We 
should just make sure that what we're releasing isn't terrible.

 Cordova:

 *The problem is really about creating native apps in JavaScript +
 HTML5

 *Cordova CLI has a quality problem (learnability | usability |

AW: Introduction

[Toplak Daniel]

Hi,

at the moment the only work was done on the windows component, but the amount 
should be less for OSX and Linux to get the core running. Chromium Embedded 
Framework is also available on OSX and Linux. And the core (JS-Bridge, Plugin 
Management, Preferences) are nearly platform independent.

To get this a first class Cordova platform many things have to be done 
(whitelist handling, project management, and creation via templates, CLI 
integration, testings, etc.). Also the current core was ported from around 
Cordova 3.0's iOS and Android version and is a bit outdated, it should respect 
the features/interfaces from the current Cordova 4.x branches.

That's a really interesting project -- I'm looking forward to trying that out. 
How much work (if any) has gone in to the OSX or Linux components?

Do you see this eventually becoming a first-class Cordova platform, or do you 
have different plans for it?

Thanks.

I think the following steps will be useful:
1. Get a running prototype of OSX and Linux
2. Check the current core code for core features and add/fix missing features 
(f.e whitelist is missing, preferences via config.xml is implemented in an old 
way)
3. Add the CLI scripts.

The 3rd step is a bit complicated for me, because I have no in depth experience 
with CLI (we using cordova for iOS and Android without CLI).

 amount should be less for OSX and Linux to get the core running. 
 Chromium Embedded Framework is also available on OSX and Linux. And 
 the core (JS-Bridge, Plugin Management, Preferences) are nearly platform 
 independent.

 To get this a first class Cordova platform many things have to be done 
 (whitelist handling, project management, and creation via templates, 
 CLI integration, testings, etc.). Also the current core was ported 
 from around Cordova 3.0's iOS and Android version and is a bit 
 outdated, it should respect the features/interfaces from the current Cordova 
 4.x branches.

 Welcome, Daniel!

 That's a really interesting project -- I'm looking forward to trying 
 that out. How much work (if any) has gone in to the OSX or Linux components?

 Do you see this eventually becoming a first-class Cordova platform, or 
 do you have different plans for it?

All I did was make a virgin project, add ios, and send to emulator, and it 
worked. That isn¹t a terribly deep test, but there ya go.

Windows 8 (not Phone 8) - native plugin support

[Toplak Daniel]

Hi,

we are very interested in phonegap/cordova and we like the concept of 
HTML5/JS/CSS + native plugin APPs.
We have created a proof of concept to embed a OpenGL Render Engine into a the 
Html-Views (not WebGL).
The native plugin which renders on a native view is running on iOS and Android 
very well.

Now we whant to go a bit further and whant to bring this technic to Windows 8 
(RT) platform to support the Windows 8 Desktop and the Windows RT Tablets.
For this we would like to try to get a DirectX Engine running as a native 
plugin. But here comes the hurdle:
Cordova-windows-8 is build on top of the Windows HTML/JS/CSS stack not as a 
XAML APP. We were able to build a Windows Runtime Component DLL in C++ but 
there we are not able to access the XAML GUI to create a view as the DirectX 
Rendering Context.

So are there any plans to port the cordova-windows-8 over to a XAML APP like 
the cordova-windows-phone8?

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
