Jordan Stout commented on CB-882:
---------------------------------
I've yet to dig into the core of cordova. I just toyed with it a few days
ago... so to answer your question, I'm not sure. But whichever protocol is
best supported for the device. I already have a node.js / socket.io app and
wanted to build a cross platform (mostly native) mobile app for the two... or
how linkedin does it
(https://gist.github.com/2595194/e4d02563d78c81837d0428a0bf70e1f9df4000bd)...
they are soon going to opensource their socket codebase. I'm assuming you can
already communicate back and forth from a socket.io server to WebSocket? I'm
not a genius on this topic. Just browsing the interwebs, I haven't found any
clear way of doing cross (mobile) platform sockets. WebSocket and Socket.io
seems to work in iOS, but I hear not Android?
Meaning, if each supported platform could be built into the cordova core as a
WebSocket wrapper.

> Key: CB-882
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-882
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Android, BlackBerry, CordovaJS, iOS
> Reporter: Jordan Stout
> Assignee: Joe Bowser
> Labels: features, socket, sockets
>
> I tested the use of socket.io in an iOS app and I was able to successfully
> communicate back and forth from mobile to desktop. All I did was grab the
> same socket.io script hosted from the node.js server (as a quick test)... Of
> course, this may be cool and all, but I'm not sure how "cross mobile" it is.
> How hard will it be to create native socket support for most (or all) devices
> so developers can talk to socket.io servers (or any other service) natively
> without including the socket.io client scripts?
