I created a basic application using PhoneGap Build that I am trying to implement a simple Email/Password authentication scheme for with Firebase. The authentication works fine in Android, but when I run it on my Windows Phone 8.1 I get the "TRANSPORT_UNAVAILABLE" error returned.
I looked through a lot of stuff on the interwebz, but there really isn't much out there for this kind of thing. So far I have attempted to add the InAppBrowser plugin as suggested in a few places, but that didn't resolve the issue.
The Firebase documentation states "Redirects are not available in PhoneGap / Cordova, or local", but since it works on the same code on the Android I am wondering if that really is the issue.
My next step is going to be implementing the google authentication, but I would prefer to get this fixed instead of having to reengineer that entire portion of my application.
Help me Firebase Support... you're my only hope!

When I try to create an API in APIM by using Create from Function App, I fill out the fields and click Create. The operation provides the wait dots and comes back in five seconds and says
Could not create an API. Please try again later.
I can create a blank API...but not one from an existing Function App. I have tried multiple combinations, No products, all products, no version, version..etc. No luck.
Thoughts?
Notes
The function in question is an HTTP Trigger.
The function works locally on my development box and in Azure.
APIM Tier is Developer
On that Function app, during Publish in Visual Studio I have reported that attempting to manage application settings before a publish fails and in trying to add a new one causes Visual Studio to unexpectedly close. Manage Application Settings on Publish Related, don't know.
Just a Ctrl + F5 solved the problem for me. Try it! ;)
I just ran into the same issue because I used Linux (Preview) instead of Windows. When I blew away the Function App and recreated a new one with Windows, my API Manager was able to create an API off it.
I have reproduce the same scenario. It is working for me. May I know, below details,
01.Hope you have tested your function and it is working fine.
02.What is the type of the function ? Hope that is "Http trigger" ?
03.What is you APIM tier ? (eg : development, basic etc.)
At this time the solution for me was to use Microsoft Edge instead of Chrome.
It seems Microsoft Azure portal is not working properly in Chrome and I noticed issues in several places. Parts of pages are not rendered at all and sometimes even errors like this pop up just because of the browser.
I had this same problem.
The fix was both simple and unexpected.
When importing the function app, simply enter "/" in the API URL Suffix field.
For me this changed the BaseURL field value. Originally it was just the host, ie http://hostname/. It then appended the endpoint the hostname, http://hostname/endpoint
This is done on the "Create Function from App" modal.
I had the same problem when trying to publish my Azure Functions application with several HTTP triggered functions through API Management running on Consumption plan. The plan did not have anything to do with the problem though.
What I did not realize was that my function app was not working properly when browsing it from the Azure portal. I had some configuration errors that prevented the app to work properly. When I resolved those, I succeeded to publish the application through APIM.
So, check that your application is working properly by browsing to it if you run into the problem described in this thread.
I had temporarily suspended (or stopped) my Function App. Restarting it resolved the problem.
I hope Azure could improve the error message, at least from UX perspective.
The issue was that the function did not actually work.
The Browse button that redirects to the page with the light bulb and the text Your function app version X is up and running did show, but the function still didn't work.
The function error had to be fixed before when importing to the APIM was done.
I have a web app developed using..(PHP,MYSQL,HTML,CSS,JS,AJAX,Datatables, bootstrapjs)
Now, I want to make a desktop version of the same app, and I came across electronjs.
The problem is I dont know whether ELECTRONJS will support all my requirements.
A breif of my requirements:
My app is responsive using datatables.net library including EDITOR for displaying the data .
the datatable plugin requires ajax calls to some API (Which I developed with PHP and hosted on a server)..
but now I want to even do all the DB Operations with electronjs so that my app can work offline.
I am not sure if I can do that with electron
- calling an API (created by same app) from HTML/frontJS
- the API Returns Json data
- the Front JS displays that data on front.
Kindly let me know if this can be done with electronjs,
Well, basically yes. You can build a desktop app like this.
But you wont be able to run it offline if it depends on a server sided API. If you can rewrite your backend Code in JavaScript and use a SQLite DB instead of a MySQL you can run this as electron App.
Keep in mind that your business logic in the frontend can always be abused because it’s not hidden from the user.
FYI: Electron only runs a browser inside it’s own App container. So there is actually no crucial difference between Browser or electron App.
I've followed this doc to
Create a wrapper Android app based on this sample project for my UI application which runs in non-public domain in our corporate servers.
Add assetlinks.json in my Angular 6 PWA application, with SHA256 fingerprints of my release key.
Deployed the signed apk to a Android 4.4.3 device running Chrome Dev 69 and Google play services - 12.8.74.
When I run the application, everything works fine except hiding the address bar, which makes it as a regular custom tab and not the "Trusted web" content.
I don't see any error in the log and not sure how to debug this scenario. Any help on this is appreciated.
Got confirmation from Chrome team that they are using TWA assets link validation in server side using an API call and so this solution wont work for Private web apps. Said that, they are also considering to move that logic to browser to support this use case. Will update here when I have any update on this.
Update: As of Chrome Version 72, TWA(Trusted web activity) if available in Chrome stable version and the web asset validation(to make sure the web page is yours/same as the app its loaded to) happens in browser. So this solution can be implemented for private web apps for hosting inside enterprise environment.
Also, now PWAs can be packed as regular app using TWA solution and uploaded to Play store as an apk file. Documentation on this is still being updated as per one of Chrome developer. But the solution as such is ready for use.
I am in big dilemma for last few days while studying paypal API for creating an HTML5 based hybrid app that needs to use paypal api for carrying out some transactions.
What I need is I want to use some Paypal API in HTML5 based mobile app, that will finally get bundled into some native app, say for example .apk files.
The problem is :
I have not found a single link that explains that if the paypal provides any api for hybrid app.
I have read their new buttons, name value api, etc. Will any of these will work in my current application when they get deployed as an .apk for android? The thing that makes me worry is that paypal needs redirectURL, so what it will do incase of single page app?
Any links or references are welcome!
I would highly suggest you try Cordova for your App. It does HTML5 in an app format and works very well.
I don't know that you would want to make API calls but your HTML buttons would definitely work. Paypal also has a plugin that would work as well (Cordova is also called Phonegap).
PhoneGap/Cordova will be my recommendation for any hybrid mobile apps.
PayPal has an official plugin for PhoneGap with Android SDK.

i know that the index.html page (the PhoneGap startup page) needs to reside on the device. but if we want to create an app who uses third party user authentication before proceeding to core application, so then what we have to do?
Thanks in advance
On android you can change the starting page in the main activity or you can make a redirect in index.html
Well, you don't say if you are platform specific..
And there are lots of third party auth options..
But I can offer two solutions (admittedly my own code etc),
both of them use PhoneGap for Android and PhoneGap Plugins. The key piece of code for me has been the onLocationChange callback feature of the ChildBrowser plugin. Your app can take the user to other sites for auth or whatever, but still get control back.
Tutorial on Using Twitter REST API (OAuth 1, ChildBrowser, jsOAuth plugin)
Free Android App + Source on github : AppLaud App (OpenID, ChildBrowser, custom server)
For authentication, you can have a form in your index.html (maybe under login div) to do a post to an actual webserver.
Then, fetch the data returned from the webserver to let your user access the functionality of your native phonegap application.
You can have the functionality disabled until you receive the successful login from the webserver. If you post via ajax, the webview won't even blink, but you will still get the successful login response from webserver and simply enable functionality on your app after this.
Let me know if this is confusing and I'll try to explain more clearly and
I hope this helps.
