How does phoneGap (Cordova) work internally, iOS specific

Question

I have started developing html applications for mutliple platforms. I recently heard about Cordova 2.0(PhoneGap) and ever since I have been curious to know how the bridge works.

Answer 1

I am trying to figure this out in more detail, too. Basically there are 2 Methods on the iOS side that can help ...

• - webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType: and
• - stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString:script

From the sources it seems cordova sends a "READY" message using webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:... and then picks up results with the second message, but I am not sure.

There is much to learn there.
