communication nativescript <-> browser app

[ray007]

This is maybe not exactly the right place to ask, feel free to point me to the right place.

Is there any way to establish communication between the nativescript app and the js-app in the opened browser tab?
Assuming both know about each other.

If you need communication, you should use a WebView instead

I would, if WebViews worked with self-signed certificates.

Thanks for the information, even though it does not look very promising.
Seems if there is a way to do it now, a custom url scheme would be the way to go. Will need to learn more about that...

Check the openAuth method and the redirection using a deep linking (custom url scheme) 🙂
