"Google Cloud Messaging for Android" deprecated, Use "Google Play Services" #41

gcm.jar is now officially deprecated by Google. See this : http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/gs.html

It now recommends using "GoogleCloudMessaging" class for all client needs. This class is installablel as "Google Play Services" under "Extras" in android sdk manager.

PushPlugin implementation should move to the new way.

Ok. It seems this issue is very important to be resolved. Google officially deprecated GCM JARs. screen shot 2013-08-12 at 11 10 21 am

We should move to GoogleCloudMessaging APIs that are part of Google Play Services asap.

FYI, this isn't ready for prime time yet, but I've switch to Google Play Services in my new branch https://github.com/jdhiro/CordovaPush

piyushhari commented 11 years ago

awesome Jason ! Do you plan to merge it this branch any sooner ?

jdhiro commented 11 years ago

Working on it as fast as I can, but I can't make any promises. I doubt it will ever be merged into this repo.

piyushhari commented 11 years ago

thanks Jason. Appreciate your quick reply. We consume this version of the plugin against cordova 2.2. And are looking forward to your merge.
