I am new to phonegap and iPhone development, and am trying to get phonegap's index.html to redirect to a JQuery Mobile site that is located externally at a settings based URL which I have in my Settings.bundle, Root.plist, Server URL. I have my index.html page redirecting to a hard coded server in the index.html file, but how do I get it to go to the URL that I have in my application settings?
Thanks in advance for any help in steering me in the right direction
I've been trying to get the plugin applicationPreferences working to essentially do something similar. Currently to no avail. As soon as I come up with a solution I will post something here again.
UPDATE
This does work it seems. There is a small, nearly unnoticeable error in the readme example.
There needs to be a comma after the 'homer'.
¬
window.plugins.applicationPreferences.set('name_identifier','homer', function() {
alert("It is saved");
}, function(error) {
alert("Failed to retrieve a setting: " + error);
}
);

I have uploaded my .zip file of my game to Facebook Instant Games when an error pop up. It says "Game must reference to one of our supported SDKs via CDN."
I already put the script tag in head and body
<script src="https://connect.facebook.com/en_US/fbinstant.7.0.js"></script>
and my fbapp-config.json
{
"instant_games": {
"platform_version": "RICH_GAMEPLAY",
"orientation": "PORTRAIT",
"navigation_menu_version": "NAV_BAR"
}
}
I also tried the CLI method in uploading the .zip file, but also gets the same error saying I must refer to their SDK via CDN.
Can anyone please guide me.
Can you try this script tag instead?
<script src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/fbinstant.latest.js"></script>
This worked for me when I just tried uploading a .zip file now.
Try to change the SDK URL to the following:
https://www.facebook.com/assets.php/en_US/fbinstant.latest.js
This works for me.
I found it in a sample file, I have just downloaded from facebook.
I hope it helps!
I am trying to change the start_url of my PWA app from one page to another but need to understand the working. Can anyone please tell me what will happen to users of my PWA app user (with old start_url). Is there any some kind of update happen after which old user can get the updated start_url.
For example:
PWA with old start_url: www.testweb.com/oldurl
PWA with new start_url: www.testweb.com/newurl
will users of PWA with old URL will get any URL after I change the start_url.
With Chrome, it depends on whether you're on desktop or mobile. On desktop, changing the start_url will have no effect, but on Android, it should be updated within a day or two. See How Chrome handles updates to the web app manifest for details about how manifest changes affect an installed PWA.
My recommendation would be don't change the start_url but instead, use the service worker to redirect the browser to the new page. For example, you could use something like:
self.addEventListener('fetch', (event) => {
// Check if URL is old start_url, if so redirect to new URL
if (event.request.url.endsWith('/previous/start_url.html')) {
const resp = Response.redirect('/new/start_url.html', 301);
event.respondWith(resp);
}
});
In my Playframework(Scala) project,I need to implement some operation that if it opens from mobile browser I need to redirect to some website(url) or else I need to call my project Controller's routes Action.I have used How to redirect to external URL in Play framework 2.0 (Java) this answer,but it shows cannot resolve symbol redirect error in my IDE.

Redirect(routes.Users.welcome())

I have tried this Redirect("http://google.com/",200) approach too,but it shows only blank screen.
note: mobile/web browser detected successfully
As per Makis Arvanitis comment I am posting the answer below
Redirect("http://google.com/",302)
This code redirect to the external URL what I mentioned in the code.
I have an HTML5 application that uses Azure mobile services authentication to login (straight from the example code...provided below). It works fine in all desktop browsers and iPhone 5 in Safari. But from app / full screen mode, it does nothing (doesn't ask for permission to show a popup window like it does in safari and no popup windows shows up) and I can wait forever and nothing happens. If I invoke it a second time, it gives an error saying "Error: Unexpected failure"...perhaps because the 1st attempt is still running? Any help/insight is appreciated.
client.login ("facebook").done(function (results) {
alert("You are now logged in as: " + results.userId);
}, function (err) {
alert("Error: " + err);
});
edited update with more info and 2 potential ideas*
I did some more research and found a site that uses an approach that overcomes this problem and also solves two other side effects with the current Azure mobile approach to authentication. I think the Azure mobile team might be looking to do something similar because there are some hints of other authentication options in the code (although difficult to read and be sure because the minimized code is obsfucated). It might be just a matter of activating these in the code...
The "solution":
Go to http://m.bcwars.com/ and click on the Facebook login. You'll see it works perfectly in iPhone Safari in "app mode" becuase instead of doing a popup, it simply stays in the current browser window.
This approach solves two other problems with the current Azure mobile approach. First, the popup gets interpreted by most browsers as a potential ad and is either blocked automatically (desktop Chrome) ... and the user doesn't know why it's not working...or gives a warning which the user has to approve (iPhone Safari in "browser mode") which is a hassle. And if the user has a popup blocker, it gets more difficult and even more potential for the user not getting it to work properly. The bcwars.com method doesn't have this problem.
Second, in iPhone Safari, when the popup window auto closes, the original page doesn't get focus if there are other browser windows open in Safari. Instead, it's in the smaller/slide mode so they can choose which one to show. If this happens, the user has to go through one more sttep...click on the browser window to activate it and give it focus..again more of a pain and more potential for them to mess up and not do it correctly and need help. The m.bcwars.com doesn't have this problem.
Azure options:
Looking at the Azure mobile code it looks like may already have the solution. I can't read it easliy becuase it's minified/obsfucated, but it seems to have 4 options (including iFrame, etc.) for invoking the authentication, and only 1 (the "less ideal one" of a popup) is being used. An easy solution would be to set a property to allow one of the alternate authentications to work. But I can't read it well enough to figure it out. Another would be to hack the code (temporarily until a fix is put up by Microsoft).
Could I get some help there perhaps?
You can implement an authentication flow with Facebook that doesn't use a popup. The basic idea is to use the 'Web Flow' for doing the login, and once the window return from the login, use the access token to login the user in to Azure Mobile Services.
The Facebook documentation for doing this is here:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/facebook-login/login-flow-for-web-no-jssdk/#step2
Some code samples to make it easier for you.
You would start by something like this:
(Remember to replace YOUR_APP_ID and YOUR_URL with something relevant to your site.
function logIn() {
window.location.replace('https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2FYOUR_URL&response_type=token')
}
This redirects the window to the Facebook page for the user to log in and authorize your app. When the user is done, Facebook will redirect the user back to YOUR_URL given above.
There you can handle the redirect and do the Mobile Services Login with something like this:
function handleLoginResponse() {
var frag = $.deparam.fragment();
if (frag.hasOwnProperty("access_token")) {
client.login("facebook", { access_token: frag.access_token }).then(function () {
// you're logged in
}, function (error) {
alert(error);
});
}
}
In here you parse the access token you get as a URL fragment and pass it as argument to the login call you make to Azure Mobile Services.
This code depends on the jquery BBQ plugin to handle the URL fragment easily.
Hope this solves your problem!
In my phonegap iPhone app, while i am trying to load a html with google maps acces using sencha-touch. A notification shows "/iphone simulator/...../index.html access your Location" . How can i change the html file name to application name?.
Make sure you are calling "navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition" after phonegap initialization is done. So for example:
document.addEventListener('deviceready', function () {
navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(successCallback, errorCallback);
}, false);
If that still doesn't do the trick, try adding a delay.
