Installing Facebook Connect Plugin with Phonegap iOS app for beginners For better readability and screenshots, visit the original blog post link: http://jbkflex.wordpress.com/2013/03/16/installing-facebook-connect-plugin-with-phonegap-ios-app- for-beginners/ Joseph Khan, March 16,2013 This post has come out of my recent struggle to integrate the Facebook Connect plugin by Dave Johnson and make it work with my Phonegap iOS app. I had a hard time figuring things out as I was new to Phonegap iOS development. I was already doing Android apps with Phonegap, but iOS has given me some tough time. Nevertheless, around 2 days of gloomy and sad face was finally rewarded with a big smile. So, better I document it somewhere so that I do not struggle again and that’s where the inspiration for this post lies. And I must say, the official documentation is pathetic for newbies. Alright, let’s get started. I will go step by step into the process with all details and screenshots so that it is very easy for you. In this post however, I will not be talking on how to create a Phonegap iOS app, or how to create Phonegap iOS plugins. For that you still need to look at the official documentation . I will only discuss on how we can install the Facebook plugin with a Phonegap iOS app and get started using it. Before moving further I would like to inform you that I am using Phonegap 2.2.0 for my demo. There are new versions available – 2.5.0 being the latest at the time of writing. So you might want to check the official pages if you are using the latest version of Phonegap. But the steps mentioned below should work with the new versions of Phonegap as well. OK, time to start now. Note: Phonegap and Cordova are the same (well, at least for me..). I prefer calling Phonegap. 1) Do I need a Mac? Simple answer – Yes, you need a Mac. I have heard and read thousand times about people asking if iOS apps can be developed in a Windows machine. Simply, I just did not research, instead I have a Mac and I started on it. But the answer is you need a Mac definitely, since you will use XCode and the iOS SDK for development.
