Integration layer for Chrome Apps in Cordova
This plugin contains the code used to wrap a Chrome app and make it run using
Cordova. It is meant to be used with the cca tool, and isn't useful outside
the context of a mobile Chrome App.
Status
The support for various functionality, across platforms, is summarized in the table below.
| API | Android | iOS |
|---|---|---|
| AppWindow: hide, minimize, restore, show | Yes | No-op1 |
| AppWindow: all other methods | No | No |
Notes:
- The iOS Human Interaction Guidelines do not allow apps to show/hide/close programmatically. Thus, these methods are implemented as a no-op (will execute without error on iOS, but have no behavior)
Reference
The API references are:
- chrome.app.window: here
