Twilio Client PhoneGap plugin updated to support Twilio Client SDK 1.2 for Android and iOS
I just updated the Twilio Client for PhoneGap plugin: https://github.com/jefflinwood/twilio_client_phonegap to support the latest version of Twilio’s client SDKs for both iOS and Android.
For those of you who wonder why you might need these, the native browsers for iOS and Android don’t support the technology used in the Twilio Client SDK for JavaScript, so if you want to build voice-enabled mobile applications, you will need to create native applications. You could develop these in Objective-C or Swift for iOS, or in Java for Android, or go with a cross-platform solution like Xamarin or Cordova/PhoneGap.
Cordova/PhoneGap lets you use HTML5/CSS/Javascript to build your mobile applications, and while it’s not the right choice for every application, it’s certainly one solution. The Twilio Plugin for PhoneGap lets you use the native Twilio Client SDK’s from JavaScript, with a syntax that is very close to the Twilio Client for JavaScript syntax.
