Hot code push in Eliom. #261

Open dannywillems opened 8 years ago

dannywillems commented 8 years ago

To update the mobile application, the Cordova plugin cordova hot code push (CHCP) is used. It works well on Android and iOS but not on other platforms like Windows Phone or Blackberry. It implies Ocsigen-start can't be build for these platforms with Cordova.

As other platforms are not planned, it causes some problems to be compatible with all platforms.

A solution is to write an equivalent library (with Eliom), maybe independtly of Eliom to update automatically the application with the same (or improved) process than CHCP.

That would be a lot of work, including entirely custom code for platforms of marginal importance.

@vasilisp Yes, we talk a few minutes about it with @vouillon @balat and @pwbs. I prefer to add the discussions result as an issue with the label enhancement to have it somewhere. I think it is also a good way to help people to know how they can contribute if they want.

Note: I don't like CHCP at all, and would prefer to have a real upgrade from the store for my app. Please include CHCP only if it is really easy to be removed...

Starting a new project with ocsigen-start (actually trying to upgrade old code using EBA), I find it to difficult to get rid of everything I do not want, in particular, I have no idea about how to remove this awful chcp thing...

EDIT: Actually not the right place to talk about the usefulness of chcp, opening a new ticket.

@sagotch Do you need mobile application?

sagotch commented 7 years ago

Yes
