'Beta': what is actually still beta?

[KoenLav]

It is mentioned explicitly that this is still a beta, but which part of this plugin is beta?

It seems to work fine for our use-cases.

Additionally, it would be of interest, if this project will be maintained. Because as i see it, the chrome apps won't be available in the future...

[KoenLav]

Indeed!

@agrieve could you shed some light on this?

[agrieve]

There's basically no one working on this project anymore, so it would be fair to say that it's unmaintained. That said, I have been still trying to accept pull requests and re-publishing plugins when they come in.

If anyone wants to take ownership of some of these plugins, I'd be happy to update the READMEs to point to new owners.

Thanks for your reply!

Do you think it would be better to start using a more generic solution (for instance: https://github.com/blocshop/sockets-for-cordova). If the goal is to keep using raw TCP socket connections for Android and iOS apps?

Since chrome apps are being outphased anyway and there is currently no easy way (that I know of) which allows raw TCP sockets to be created from within a browser (although the HTML5 socket API is already being developed https://www.w3.org/TR/tcp-udp-sockets/).

Do you have any thoughts on this?
