[jira] [Commented] (CB-254) All input parameters in iOS backend methods are strings

["Oleg Gryb (Commented) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-254?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13223702#comment-13223702 ] 

Oleg Gryb commented on CB-254:
------------------------------

I've tested this in the branches suggested by Filip Maj:
https://github.com/filmaj/incubator-cordova-js
https://github.com/filmaj/incubator-cordova-ios

I found out that the correct types are created for different data types: NSString for strings and NSNumber for integers.  I think, this will fix the described problem. The only thing that plugin developers would need to do is to get rid of data conversion in their iOS methods if they used version 1.4.1 ( or older).

See also my suggetion in CB-255 about nulls.

> Input parameters in 'arguments' array contain NSString types only, no matter what was passed in JS,
> e.g. in JS I can write something like this:
>         
>         return PhoneGap.exec(successCallback,
>                              failureCallback, 
>                              VPCLASS,  
>                              'method',
>                              ["str", 0, 1]);
>  
> but 'arguments' below will contain NSStrring types @"0" and @"1" instead of integers in the method below
> -(void)method:(NSMutableArray *)arguments withDict:(NSMutableDictionary *)options
> In Android there was a method data.getInt that I could use to retrieve an integer, but I didn't see anything like that in iOS
