BTW, because I happen to like contradictions. Plugins are not completely
free-form. They still require some sort of directory structure for every
supported platform (right now: iOS, Android and BlackBerry 10).
Precisely, src/{ios,android,BlackBerry10} needs to be there or libraries
(on android, bb10) and everything (on ios) will fail to install. Of course
this can be (and should be) changed but I am just stating the current state.On Tue, Feb 12, 2013 at 11:01 PM, Anis KADRI <anis.ka...@gmail.com> wrote: > I'd like to see where the overlap is before jumping in and merging the two > code bases. > > I think that by essence plugins and apps are different.
