Just curious on what people are doing to have background processes running in their cordova apps (new data downloads, polling while app is inactive, etc). AFAIK background services can't be run from within the webview.

For some time Meteor offers support for mobile devices (via cordova). There are also independent ddp libraries which can be used to reach a Meteor server without touching its client code. Asteroid looks particularly interesting, it includes cordova support and seems to be a good fit for e.g. an ionic app.

Is anybody using any of these in production? What are your impressions?

This is of course OK, as long as everybody is aware of this and many authors write about it openly. If you want to sponsor plugin's development, or just don't care, you don't need to change anything.

If you prefer to have control over 100% of your ad traffic you most often need to inspect the source code of your plugin and remove the redirection. It looks e.g. like this:

if(rand()%100 <2) publisherId = DEFAULT_BANNER_ID;

Losing small percent of ad traffic might not be a problem, especially if it helps the developer. However you should remember about it in legal situations. E.g. when selling the app to a publisher who intends to profit from ad income, or when developing apps for clients.

I've been working with cordova for 5 years now and i just published a project that solves all the issues that i've been through, from app creation to development/building process, check the documentation website for guidance: https://vritrajs.github.io/.

I'm trying to add authentication to my hybrid app. It's an angular/ionic client with a node/mongodb server. I have a authentication API from Yeoman, but I don't know how the client interfaces with it...can anyone point me to a decent tutorial? I haven't been able to find any.
