ivanbilobrk opened a new issue, #1641:
URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/issues/1641
Summary
There is currently no way to declare an iOS App Extension target (e.g.,
Notification Service Extension, Share Extension, Widget Extension) in
plugin.xml. Every plugin that needs an extension target must
manually manipulate the Xcode project file (project.pbxproj) using the
xcode npm module in a hook script. This is fragile, error-prone, and creates
significant maintenance burden for plugin authors. Or even worse, write manual
instructions for clients on how to create a separate target using Xcode.
Motivation
Push notification SDKs (Infobip, OneSignal, Airship, etc.) require a
Notification Service Extension to support:
- Rich push notifications (images, video, GIFs on the lock screen)
- Accurate delivery reporting (the extension runs even when the main app
is killed)
- Content modification before display
Apple requires this to be a separate target in the Xcode project with its
own bundle ID, entitlements, Info.plist, and source files. Currently, every
plugin author must reimplement the same complex Xcode
project manipulation independently.
It would be great if all this could be handled by using config.xml file.
Expo tools for React Native already has this support so idea can be taken from
them.
BR, Ivan.
