Plugins and IP

Any recommendations on the best way to implement plugins while protecting the source code? Our development teams are trying to figure out the most efficient way to deliver Cordova plugins to our customers but hide the IP and I would like to learn how others are managing this.

Hmm didn't think about JavaScript - the easiest is obfuscation with Closure
or something (with exclusions for cordova objects).

On BB10, that native side gets compiled into a .so file that you would distribute.

Of course there is still the javascript side. Depends on which side of the plugin you are worried about IP in.

Same deal on Android except you would use a jar or if UI is involved a
library project.

Forgot to mention, you should build the lib as a fat binary with all
architectures, don't forget i386 if your users plan to test on the Simulator

For iOS plugins, compile the source as a lib (.a file). For example, in the
TestFlightPlugin I include TestFlight's lib:
https://github.com/shazron/TestFlightPlugin
https://github.com/shazron/TestFlightPlugin/blob/master/plugin.xml#L35

 and provide the headers of course
