Hi, I would like to contribute to Cordova, more precisely to the iOS side of it but first of all let me present myself.
I'm a computer scientist at Adobe in the Experience Design team mainly working on seed-products and researches. For more information you can look at my linkedIn profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/yderidder. Recently for one of our project, we extensively used Cordova to produce an iOS app using web technologies and we ended up writing a bunch of native plugins which I think would be valuable contributions. I already started to factor out some of the enhancements we did into a fork of the cordova-ios github repo which you can find here: https://github.com/yderidde/cordova-ios/ My first contribution is related to the splash screen in iOS: - Splash-Screen Fade IN/OUT feature The first commit is about adding the ability to fade in and out the splash screen. It uses 2 new properties in the xml config file: 'FadeSplashScreen' a boolean to enable or disable the fading. 'FadeSplashScreenDuration' a float, which is the duration of the fade in seconds. https://github.com/yderidde/cordova-ios/commit/42ab472a29efd5f3568d83252357dbfabc0c3575 - Cordova splash-screen enhancement with smooth iOS-like rotation on re-orientation The second commit is about nice and smooth rotation transition while the splash is still visible and reorienting the device. Before it was abruptly switching the image when the orientation changed which was not very iOS-like. I basically re-wrote the entire routine which to me looks simpler and 'just works'. This said, the previous routine seemed complex to me and I couldn't really understand why. So I hope that I didn't introduce a regression here. https://github.com/yderidde/cordova-ios/commit/8e0069d2fb689d11eed7d1e3b6b62a0a2b9c6b30 While I'm at it, I can also probably look at these 2 issues related to the splash screen in iOS: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2220 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-1505 --- I believe at this point, the next step would be to open an issue for each on Jira ? and start getting some feedback from you guys before I do a pull request. Cheers, /yaniv
