Updating a Cordova/Phonegap code base dynamically?
Has anyone tried to code an update system into a phonegap app? It seems
like we could pull the html and javascript files down auto magically? That
way I wouldn't have to go through the app store to make changes. Use file
rewrite and overwrite changed files. I guess you could have a script on
your site that would have a json flag and a list of files to download?
Anyone tried anything like this? i searched in the archives but I didn't
see anything like this.

Interesting. I wonder what the split is between updating content and
updating codebase!

I noticed that a couple apps I have seen to do it. OkCupid seems to
update dynamically...

Not to mention Apple won't be keen that you're skirting their review
process. Play by the rules and play nice! ;)

Hey man, it is possible and has been done before. Check our Fil Maj's
Hydra project. [1] In general, we recommend you ensure you still
account for an offline for your app. Tends to be the first thing an
Apple reviewer tests too.
