Running the sample Application

To easily play around with the plugin, a sample application (w/ unit testing) is available in the sample folder.

MAC OS/X

• Edit setup.sh with your own credentials

export CAPPTAIN_IOS_APP_ID=<APP_ID_IOS>
export CAPPTAIN_IOS_SDK_KEY=<SDK_KEY>
export CAPPTAIN_ANDROID_APP_ID=<APP_ID_ANDROID>
export CAPPRAIN_ANDROID_GOOGLE_PROJECT_NUMBER=<GOOGLE_PROJECT_NUMBER>

• Create the sample project by launching setup.sh

sh setup.sh

• Go to the directory where the app has been created

cd ~/CapptainCordova

• Launch one of the following command

cordova run android
cordova emulate ios
cordova run ios device

Windows

The process is similar, just edit/run the setup.batfile. Obviously, only the Android platform is supported on Windows.

Advance Testing

Campaign

In-App campaign should work directly, and redirection can be tested by using action URL beginning with "mytest://"

Native Push Testing

Native notification requires some additional configuration of your Capptain app (cf. the Capptain Documentation for reference)

• Import a Native Push Certificate into your Capptain console (iOS)
• Set the Server Key from your Google Cloud Messaging enabled app (Android)
