I have a html5-JQM mobile app with a backend built using DEPLOYD. Since I am using JQuery Mobile for my mobile app (running from a file structure as of now) and also connecting to my cloud instance here at the same time, this amounts to violation of same origin policy and hence CHROME stops it.
For testing purposes I am running chrome in a non-secure way.
Chrome\Application\chrome.exe –allow-file-access-from-files –disable-web-security
Now once I am done with I mobile app, I will use PhoneGap to generate the build. My target platform is Android. AFAIK, PhoneGap calls my web app inside a native webUI control.
Questions
– Does the same origin policy apply in the mobile scenario too?
– I ask this because, Deployd currently doesnt support JSONP and if the answer to the aforementioned question is true then I will have to seriously rethink my backend.
Can you please guide me here?
If I understand PhoneGap correctly, you should have no problems making cross-origin requests. In any case, newer versions of Deployd support CORS natively so JSONP (which is not a magic cross-domain bullet, since it only supports GET) isn’t necessary.
