As plugin authors we are not allowed to include libraries in our plugins. I see two potential solutions for this deadlock:
- Build should allow us to use a limited whitelisted set of third party libraries.
- Phonegap Build could host the plugin and give the plugin author write access to the repo, so Build is in full (shared) control of the plugin source.
Before you ask: I have tried several Java decompilers with the 'google-play-services.jar' and all fail miserably. Even if decompilation would have worked, I'd hesitate including the resulting Java files in my plugin.

Are there any plans to create a Phonegap Plugin for Google Play Services (including Gaming Service, AdMob etc.)? Not a Phonegap Build one but a Phonegap plugin?
As of August 1st, Google Play, will no longer accept Apps build with AdMob SDK, but only Apps using AdMob through Google Play Services.

There are great plugins using third libraries. I'm not a plugin developer.
The phonegap build is getting outdated related to the new technologies.
Example: I can't use pushwoosh plugin with iBeacons because of the "legal and security issue" commented by Dave Johnson. I'm not from pushwoosh team (i'm only a user of his services).
Dave, could you raise this issue for the owner of phonegap build?
I love phonegap build and as suggested above .. validate some libraries and let them whitelisted. Special attention for new technologies as iBeacons (see pushwoosh plugin). It supports iBeacon for Android and iPhone as far as I know but it can't be updated because of use of the libraries... I read about the problem with pushwoosh libraries here in this blog

Fernando

It works with iOS and Android, but guess what - for Android you need the 'google play services' jar.
SUGGESTION for Adobe: Whitelist a plugin containing only that jar, which can be used by other plugins. Like this one: https://github.com/MobileChromeApps/g...
Then 3rd party plugins can then put this line in their plugin.xml to load that dependency (which is the same syntax you can locally use in plugin.xml when building with the CLI):
<dependency id="com.google.playservices" />
Here's my Google+ plugin btw: https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cor..., I think it's awesome ;)

When I attempt to update my plugins to newer version, I was told that I have to upgrade my account before submitting a plugin.
Then I go to upgrade my account, and I found there is a service named "Creative Cloud" of $49.99/month and a option named "PhoneGap build" of $9.99/month.
When I called the adobe technical support, they told me that I cannot subscribe it from China...
Is PhoneGap Build not a global service?!
I cannot use it even I wanna pay via PayPal?!
Really weird and disappointing...

Great news: PhoneGap Build now allows any plugin
Excellent! They also raised the 15MB/40MB limits, which many developers will like very much.
To Adobe/PGB:
Just one more request: would it be possible to raise the max number of private apps on the paid account? It's 25 now, but on this forum, multiple posters have asked how to do more than 25.
I know it's possible to remove apps and create new ones...but that's a pain in certain cases. Same with creating multiple accounts, because the signing keys must then manually be synchronized.
Payment of 10 dollars for each 25 apps would (as far as I'm concerned) be fair enough, if money is the problem.
Please?
Thanks in advance!
