Hey So, once again, we're dealing with some major API changes once we introduce pluggable webview. The first change that was done for sanity was finally deprecating setProperty. This was slated to be removed by 3.5 or in six months from the deprecation date, but we kept it in too long. While I would like to assume that everyone has moved over to setting their preferences in config.xml, which is the much more sane way of doing things, we can't do that. We need to publicize this in some blog posts, as well as in our documentation somehow. There will obviously be some pissed off users, as we've seen in past posts, but I think having the ability to use a WebView other than Chrome 30 is worth these changes.
The other change, which says more about our design is adding a getter method for pluginManager. We need to access the pluginManager to get plugins, and it's expected that everyone who implements a CordovaWebView will have this method produce a pluginManager. In the past, it was just publicly exposed, which was not the greatest idea and was kinda sloppy. So, how do people want to handle these changes? We constantly get shit for changing our API when we do development, but I do think these improvements are extremely important, especially given how much flak we get for relying on Android's WebView. Thoughts? Joe
