Partnership with Google on App Indexing

Hello,

My name is Emeric and I am working on Google App Indexing
<https://developers.google.com/app-indexing/>.

Many developers have problems with discoverability and re-engagement in
their apps. We have addressed those issues and came up with an idea called
App Indexing.

App Indexing allows Android and iOS apps to drive new installs, increase
traffic and improve discoverability by being indexed on the Google search
results. It means that users who have the app installed are able to open
the content directly in the app. Have a look at this short video
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aISUYHTkTOU> to see how App Indexing
works.

Adding deep links on Android
<https://developers.google.com/app-indexing/android/app> and http links on
iOS <https://developers.google.com/app-indexing/ios/app> has a positive
influence on the ranking of your website even for users that haven’t
installed the app.

It seems that it is not yet possible for the users of Cordova to benefit
from the many advantages of App Indexing.

Is there any plan on your side to add the support of App Indexing?

If you are interested to know more, please let me know, we could plan a 30
minutes video call to discuss App Indexing further.

Kind regards,
--

Hey Emeric,

The greatest thing about Cordova is it's openness. You don't need
permission to create a new plugin. The core functionality (like
geolocation) is written as a plugin and maintained by this group but
third parties whether they be large companies Google or the
independent software can write plugins, submit them to NPM where they
can be discovered and used by everyone. These 3rd party plugins don't
have to be part of Apache Cordova's core and can have their own
license.

I believe the best way for you to provide an App Indexing plugin is to
get a developer or two on your team to read over:

https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/hybrid/plugins/index.html

and take a first crack at creating your plugin. We will always be here
to answer questions and offer guidance.

Also, there were a number of Google employees who've contributed to
Apache Cordova in the past and we can get you in contact with them if
you have any questions about Google's contributions to Cordova.

Thanks...

Thanks for that.
A plugin would indeed be a good way to add this to Cordova.
What would be the best way to get this plugin from the community?

Thanks,

Re: Partnership with Google on App Indexing

Hi,

I'm don't remember this being discussed on this mailing list, but my
opinion is, as it only supports iOS and android, it should be a 3rd party
plugin. Maybe others don't agree, so we should discuss it.

It would be cool if somebody from google can create the plugins and share
them.
