Setup Instructions

Requirements

This guide assumes basic familiarity with Cordova (PhoneGap), Xcode, and Eclipse. For a more detailed walkthrough of setting up a Cordova project, see the Cordova platform guides.

You should also have:

• Cordova 5.0 or later. We strongly encourage you to use the latest Cordova tools (5.2.0 at the time of this release)
• iOS: Xcode and Xcode command line tools
• Android: Android SDK with “android” tool in PATH or ANDROID_HOME environment variable (Cordova’s Setup Guide)

Creating a Cordova app

Open a command terminal and cd to the directory where you want to create your Cordova project:

cordova create hello_connect com.example.helloconnect HelloConnect

This will create a directory named “hello_connect” with a basic Cordova app. Use the following commands to create iOS and Android projects:

cd hello_connect
cordova platform add android
cordova platform add ios

Note

Due to a bug in the current version of Cordova, do not put any spaces in the app name.

Add the Connect SDK Cordova plugin

This will download and install the Connect SDK plugin:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-connectsdk

The plugin will set up the projects automatically. If you run into any issues with the automatic setup process, please email developer@lge.com or file an issue on Github.
