I built an app using jQTouch and deployed it used phonegap as a native app. I require notifications and to do that I created a separate iOS app to handle push-notifications. Is there a way to not have this app displayed as an icon on the iphone? Also is it possible to not let it launch? I just need it to notify the user they need to check the jQTouch app.
Thanks.
No – you can’t install an app and then hide it, nor not let it launch.
Why don’t you just enable the PhoneGap app to receive the push notifications?
The PhoneGap app will be capable of receiving the notifications if you configure the project using XCode to do so.
If PhoneGap on iOS does not yet support the ability to pass notifications to your code you could add it using a PhoneGap plugin.
