Hi Martijn,
thanks for your quick reply. I already started developing the Cordova plugin. It takes a lot of time, though, because I have to update the git repo on every file change, copy the commit UUID from GitHub, paste it into my Cordova.depends() call and re-build the complete Meteor project from scratch… So the change you mentioned for Meteor 1.2 is very, very welcome!
Regarding my project: I explained it a bit in this thread
I need the Cordova plugin to send messages to my native side, since I found no other way to do this. Only the direction native => web app is available out-of-the-box, using the handleOpenURL() method.
