Including this plugin in a project that is built by PhoneGap Build is as easy as adding:
<preference name="android-build-tool" value="gradle" />
<plugin name="phonegap-plugin-push" source="npm" />into your app's config.xml file. PhoneGap Build will pick up the latest version of phonegap-plugin-push published on npm. If you want to specify a particular version of the plugin you can add the spec attribute to the plugin tag.
<preference name="android-build-tool" value="gradle" />
<plugin name="phonegap-plugin-push" spec="~1.4.5" source="npm" />Note: version 1.3.0 of this plugin begins to use Gradle to install the Android Support Framework. Support for Gradle has recently been added to PhoneGap Build. Please read this blog post for more information.
Because PhoneGap Build does not support running hooks if you want to include custom image or sounds you will need to use a beta feature to include these files.
To add custom files, create a directory called locales/android/ in the root of your PGB application zip / repo, and place your resource files there. The contents will be copied into the Android res/ directory, and any nested sub-directory structures will persist. Here's an example of how these files will be compiled into your APK:
<www.zip>/locales/android/drawables/logo.png --> <android_apk>/res/drawables/logo.png
<www.zip>/locales/android/raw/beep.mp3 --> <android_apk>/res/raw/beep.mp3
<www.zip>/locales/android/values-fr/strings.xml --> <android_apk>/res/values-fr/strings.xml
Existing directories will be merged, but at this time any individual files you include will overwrite their target if it exists.
