20steps / cordova-plugin-watch-example Goto Github PK

In Cordova/Phonegap 4.2, is there supposed to be a reference to the plugin in cordova_plugins.js? I find code for my other plugins, but none to the cordova watch plugin.

When I run the code in browser, Javascript is throwing

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'plugins' of undefined(index):

and the following codeblock silently hangs my app both in browser and in compiled Xcode:

function SetupListener(){
window.cordova.plugins.Watch.initialize('group.com.example.app, 'myIdentifier');    

    window.cordova.plugins.Watch.listen('ListenerName', function(message) {
    window.open('http://www.example.com/?QueryVar='+message, '_system')});

I've tried uninstall/reinstall, cordova prepare ..

Thanks for this, it looks great. I'm having trouble though - I followed the instructions and got everything seemingly working but the watch and phone apps don't seem to be communicating. I see changing values on the phone but only -1 on the watch.

I set my own team, changed the bundle identifiers and fixed a few problems that resulted from that, enabled groups on all targets, set the same group, entitlements look fine.

I can't think of what I might be missing, any thoughts perchance?

This is a query more than a issue. Do we need to initialize the plugin only once ? Say i send a request from the watch app multiple times, one request for login, then another request for data for certain period etc, how do i use this plugin. Do I need to initialize the plugin once and keep listening for the request from the watch app ? I believe I should be sending information regarding the request in the message in the request. But depending on the request the response seems to vary. So should I create multiple request functions wrapping the request listener ?
