[jira] [Created] (CB-12263) Reflections for Cordova Apps

Vignesh T.V created CB-12263:
--------------------------------

             Summary: Reflections for Cordova Apps
                 Key: CB-12263
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12263
             Project: Apache Cordova
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: AllPlatforms
         Environment: Pin Screen mode in Android & IOS
            Reporter: Vignesh T.V


Android and IOS have pin screen feature which allows an app to run in kiosk mode disabling access to any other app. 

Android:
http://www.androidguys.com/2015/11/30/how-to-use-screen-pinning-in-android-6-0-marshmallow/

IOS:
http://www.webascender.com/Blog/ID/447/How-to-Setup-Kiosk-Mode-Lock-Your-iPad-to-Just-One-App

Thus, if the device running the app is to be placed somewhere in public (as kiosk mode), it needs to be updated automatically for a new release without user intervention (without unpinning, updating via playstore, etc.)

So, I was looking for a way to auto-update android/ios apps without user intervention and came across this article:

https://blog.vivekpanyam.com/evolve-seamlessly-deploy-android-apps-to-users/

This will work great for apps not installed via playstore and that is fine but the code written is in JAVA and mainly intended for native apps. Is it possible for cordova to implement reflections for cordova based apps (probably as an optional feature) or some documentation or resource on how we can do this for cordova apps?
