Hi!

Loving PG Build so far - Very smooth experience thus far! I was just wondering, will it be possible (I know this is a stretch) to somehow specify plugins that you'd want included in the build process? Here I am talking about plugins like these:

https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-...

The reason why I ask is because we are building an app that relies heavily on GPS location monitoring - and one of the things we want to do is build a plugin for Android users which checks whether their GPS is enabled, and if not start a new Activity which takes them to their GPS settings screen....

That's about it :)

Yes - plugin support is the next major feature we're working on. We hope to start rolling it out soon.

Any update on plugin support? We use ChildBrowser in our app and are building manually at the moment. Another major release on the horizon for us and would love to move PG build for that.

Please see our recent blog post here:

tldr: we're running iOS and Android plugins internally, just ironing out the details before we release them to the wider world

Be good to get some feedback on this - kinda feel we've been left hanging and making it hard to get any kind of a roadmap in our stuff right now :(
