Hey thought I'd give some pro-tips to @Jan but also for anyone else who might be listening. I'll blog this post after cleaning it up a little, additions are be welcome.
There are several ways you can get an iOS plugin class to boot with, or before the WebView is created. Here are my favs: - (void)pluginInitialize (recommended method) Set <param name="onload" value="true" /> in config.xml for this one. - (CDVPlugin *)initWithWebView:(UIWebView *)theWebView; You can hijack this method without onload, but you will been to execute a JavaScript API first which means waiting for deviceready. My favourite way to do this is adding a deviceready event listener into your plugin.js API file's constructor. Singleton classes... Singletons are super badass. Create an extra class to be packaged with your plugin class (this will be your main class with methods). Now your plugin class will simply invoke the methods on the singleton. Your main class will use the +(void)load to create a singleton for itself which will be accessed by the plugin class. Check this example: Creating a singleton https://github.com/aogilvie/phonegap-plugin-wizAnalytics/blob/v3.3/platforms/ios/HelloCordova/Plugins/WizAnalyticsPlugin/WizAnalytics.m#L31 Accessing it in a plugin https://github.com/aogilvie/phonegap-plugin-wizAnalytics/blob/v3.3/platforms/ios/HelloCordova/Plugins/WizAnalyticsPlugin/WizAnalyticsPlugin.m#L20 Some words of warning +(void)load is so awesome it runs immediately when the class is added to memory so careful when calling stuff outside your main class, they probably won't exist yet xD *and Android:* @Override public void initialize(CordovaInterface cordova, CordovaWebView webView) This gets called as soon as the first JavaScript API gets called. Does NOT currently adhere to <param name="onload" value="true" /> AFAIK, I usually do something cheeky like with iOS' initWithWebView by adding a hidden fake init method to the JavaScript API hooked onto the deviceready listener. There might be another trick to pick up onMessage(String id, Object data) and catch onPageFinished or something, not sure. Android needs some love. @Shazron can we get someone to verify at onload for Android?
