Bridge prevents phonegap from loading app

[stefankendall]

I'm trying to add a WebViewJavascriptBridge to my existing phonegap application, but when I try to add the bridge to the webview, my application never loads past the splash screen.

I have this in didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:

WebViewJavascriptBridge* javascriptBridge = [WebViewJavascriptBridge javascriptBridgeForWebView:self.viewController.webView handler:^(id data, WVJBResponseCallback callback) {
    NSLog(@"Received message from javascript: %@", data);
}];

I see that the events get fired, but my app doesn't load. Is this is an issue, or is there something I'm missing that's breaking startup?

I'm not sure wwjb is compatible with phone gap. If you're using phone gap already, why not use their messaging bridge?

Fair enough.

My first attempt to write an iOS plugin ended in failure, but I had some cordova settings screwed up at the time.

I'll go back to writing an iOS plugin and make things more kosher.

Didn't mean to sound dismissive - apologies if a did.

I'm not a huge fan of phone gap. It's abstractions are too thick and extensive. All I want it a uiwebview and a way to easily pass messages bak and forth. That's what wvjb gives you.

If you need help creating a UIWebView that fills the entire viewport and loads a local HTML file, let me know.

Also, you should check out WebViewPrpxy which I built this past week. It solves an important part of iOS webview apps that even phone gap doesn't do for you well.

Cheers!

@stefankendall fyi, WebViewProxy is now pretty much done: https://github.com/marcuswestin/WebViewProxy
