Cordova / phonegap support

[steffanhalv]

Will you add cordova / phonegap support for this please? We tried to fork a project from npm and edit it with the latest version of the library, but when we run the xcode project we get an error:

"Include of non-modular header inside framework module 'PayPalRetailSDK':

And if we fix this by copying those two files into the framework the app runs successfully but crashes with the following error:

dyld`__abort_with_payload:

Unfortunately we don't offer official support for Cordova/Phonegap at this time but will take this feedback into consideration as we look into alternative development options in the future.

Is there anyway to workaround this error I think there's so many people using Cordova/Phonegap and your Here service is getting popular so you should rush on this before the hype goes some where else

Hello @steffanhalv, you can add the PayPalHereSDKv2 to a cordova project with the cordova-plugin-cocoapod-support.

Just modify you config.xml to something like the following:

    <platform name="ios">
        <dependency id="cordova-plugin-cocoapod-support"/>
        <pods-config use-frameworks="true"></pods-config>
        <pod name="PayPalHereSDKv2/Release" />

        <!-- Add the rest of the scripts afterwards (i.e. config-file, source-file etc...) -->
    </platform>

After installing the plugin, just run the command cordova prepare ios, it will automatically install the pod PayPalHereSDKv2 in your project.

asa47 we tried your solutions but we've got the same result 'PPRetailInstrumentInterface/PPRetailInstrumentInterface.h' file not found is there any specific version working with this method? we tried last 20 with no luck, is it working for you?

[asa47]

@DowsingUK Yes it working for us. Just to confirm, after installing the pod, are you opening the xcworkspace or the xcodeproj? You should be using the xcworkspace.

[steffanhalv]

@asa47 Does it also work for Android? I haven't got time to test your ios solution just yet, but it would be awesome if it works.

[DowsingUK]

@asa47 sure we're using xcworkspace and we've try with different versions of MacOSX, Cordova/Phonegap, XCodes and nothing works always getting 'PPRetailInstrumentInterface/PPRetailInstrumentInterface.h' file not found

@steffanhalv Android has been working good so far for us

@DowsingUK @steffanhalv I have forked your plugin, please see my changes. corodova-plugin-paypal-here

1. Install the plugin with cordova plugin add https://github.com/asa47/corodova-plugin-paypal-here.git
2. Run cordova prepare ios
3. Open the xcworkspace in XCode, and build the project. It should work, I have tested it on an empty project.
4. You will have to re-write the ios src code in Objective C or you can just use a Bridging-Header and use the previous implementation.

If you are still having issues there might be something wrong with your XCode project.

@steffanhalv I havent used the android SDK, but it should be straightforward, just update your gradle with the new dependency and build the project in Android studio.

@asa47 That is actually a big part of the problem. AFNetworking is not working which should be used there. See my error log in the first post 😅.

And honestly I am also not so good at writing Objective C code...

Otherwise, thank you very much ;)

add this line in config.xml and try running a clean ios platform install <preference name="deployment-target" value="8.1" />
