Switch a native existing app with cordova/phonegap


I'm trying to update an existing native app (actually are two: one for iOS and one for Android) switching all the content with cordova. Basically I need to rewrite the app with cordova but I also would like to update the same app instead of asking to users to uninstall the old one and install back the new one. Is it possible? Any advice?

Thank you in advance!


Solution

  • Yes it is possible. You just need to use the same app ids as the native apps used on android/ios (define them in you cordova config.xml) - and for android you need to sign the final apk using the original *.keystore file.
