Project Challenges
- Limitations of Cordova: Cordova's restrictions required a special plugin to support these systems. This custom solution presented licensing compliance and security risks.
- Problems with Plugin Development: Developing a bespoke plugin to circumvent Cordova's constraints required navigating technical obstacles including framework compatibility and security concerns. Additionally, licensing compliance considerations complicated the process.
- Compatibility Risk: The indirect API integration with Apple and Google frameworks posed substantial compatibility problems. These risks could cause application functionality gaps or failures, threatening solution reliability and performance.
- Support and Issue Resolution: The project worried about Cordova-based application support and issue resolution. This uncertainty raised questions about whether the project could rely only on this structure, which could affect its long-term success.
- Feasibility Assessment: A thorough study was undertaken by the project team to determine the feasibility of using Cordova for the project. This review assessed platform compatibility, support infrastructure, and plugin development and integration risks.
- Mitigation Strategies: The project team used comprehensive testing, proactive issue resolution, and plugin development monitoring to mitigate Cordova constraints and compatibility risks. Additionally, alternative frameworks or technologies that could support CarPlay and Android Auto better were investigated.
