Heya Team , cordova app creates/updates platform/android and platform/ios after every build command. Is there any way to send value from cordova's www/html file to platform/android or platform/ios controllers ? i.e passing values from html to generated native code as we need to setup communication between cordova code & platforms generated code. Please let me know if there is any solution as such. Thanks & Kind Regards,Pratiksha. :)

Sounds like you want to write a cordova plugin. You can't go directly from html to native, but there is a JS api that allows you to send serializable data (ie strings) to native. Of course, the JS can also read from the the DOM to pull that data from html.

I'd recommend starting here: https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/hybrid/plugins/index.html

is there any creative way for a plugin to have a variable that is a boolean used in Info.plist, e.g.
<config-file
  &lt;$FACEBOOK_AUTO_LOG_EVENTS /&gt;
&lt;/config-file&gt;```
^ doesn’t work

i kind of assumed variable replacement by cordova was just a straight string replacement, but i guess not?

Does anyone know what to do about the ITP issues on iOS 14? One screen of my app has an iframe inside a view, that loads content (with auth cookies). The content only loads if I set the 'NSCrossWebsiteTrackingUsageDescription' and go to the settings and enabling 'Allow Cross-Website Tracking'. I dont know the URLS in build time, since they are client-specific. Any ideas on how to handle this?

Is there a known memory leak in cordova-plugin-camera for ios? The app crashes when opening the camera again after taking a lot of photos. But if it's working on a device with more RAM, it doesn't crash.

Maybe they can be convinced to use the app name for the geolocation and device orientation prompts as well and then we won't need to have plugins...
