Yes, I thought it would have handled it too, since I had seen that exec code in the cordova.js file. But it appears the OS X version uses a different method to get the JS objects into the native side. Odd, since I would expect that code to be identical in both iOS and OS X.
I will see if I can add a feature request. Have not used the tracking system yet, so we shall see… Thanks, Tyler On Jul 4, 2013, at 2:05 AM, Shazron <[email protected]> wrote: > You should add a feature request - surprised it didn't get "converted" > using our mechanism here though: > https://github.com/apache/cordova-js/blob/master/lib/osx/exec.js#L70 > > > > On Mon, Jul 1, 2013 at 4:20 PM, Tyler Wilson > <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Good day, >> >> I just signed up to the mailing list, though I have been a very happy user >> of Cordova for a while now.
