OSX support

[kalliste]

Right now the plugin supports iOS apps only, but Cordova and Swift are also available for OSX

Did you have a try with this plugin in an OSX context ? What issues do you encounter ?
I'm not really comfortable with the OSX version of Cordova, I'll use Electron in that case.

[kalliste]

It wasn't immediately obvious how I would need to update the plugin code to get it going under OSX so I haven't tried it yet. I was looking at using it because I am wrapping a (proprietary) library in a cordova plugin and the library works on OSX so it would be convenient to test the plugin code this way.

Interested in the same, and just found this issue. Did either of you ever get a chance to look at this since the most recent comment ~8 months ago? Happy to try to help too (though we're using the https://github.com/bitjson/cordova-plugin-swift-support fork only because that's the one that cordova-plugin-qrscanner depends on, no idea why they're apparently preferring to leave their fork divergent rather than attempting to merge upstream? /cc @bitjson -- any interest in merging back here, or explaining in your README the purpose of continuing to maintain a divergent fork? Thanks:)

Hey @jab – info in this thread: #24

TL;DR:
probably use this one, not my fork
(but my fork will stay as-is for https://github.com/bitpay/cordova-plugin-qrscanner)

@bitjson That link to #24 is really helpful, thanks! (Just sent you a PR to add that info to your README so others can find it more easily in the future.)

We'll probably stick to using your fork, since we already depend on cordova-plugin-qrscanner, and it seems better to not depend on both swift-support plugins as long as we can avoid it.

While we're here, do you have any interest in adding OS X support to your fork? (I'd ask that by opening a new issue for it in your repo, but it looks like issues are disabled there. Any interest in going into https://github.com/bitjson/cordova-plugin-swift-support/settings and enabling issues?)

Thanks again!

[jab]

Just wanted to try pinging you again @bitjson and @akofman - would love to know each of your interest in collaborating on adding OS X support (even if only to merge a patch), thanks!

Hey,

I close this issue because I think #37 responded to your needs.

[kalliste]

#37 did not fix it but I just submitted a pull request that does

[kalliste]

Pull request is #46

The resulting project doesn't build :/ but this gets us closer
