The Connect SDK for Cordova is a simplified version of the Connect SDK, focused on two things: sending mobile push notifications and identifying app users — creating new contacts in your audience, or recognizing existing ones using the app. One JavaScript API covers both iOS and Android, so your marketing team can author push content (thumbnail images, expandable rich content, and tappable actions) from Connect without any code changes on your side per campaign.

⚠️
Important
The Connect Cordova SDK doesn't include behavioral analytics, automatic screen or touch capture, or session replay.

Language: JavaScript, with TypeScript definitions. The rich-media extensions on iOS are implemented in Swift.

Availability: Pro, Premium, and Ultimate

What the plugin does

Capability	Description	Guide
Push notifications	Registers the device for push on both platforms — APNs on iOS, Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) on Android — and delivers Connect-authored notifications.	Push notifications in a Cordova app
Identity signals	Match anonymous sessions and push-eligible devices to known contacts in your Connect audience by firing a signal at sign-in or registration.	Identify users at sign-in and Identify users at registration

Requirements


Cordova CLI	12.0.0 or later
Node.js	20 or later


cordova-ios	7.0.0 or later
iOS deployment target	15.1 or later (plugin default; do not set lower — CocoaPods rejects it)
Xcode / CocoaPods	Xcode 15 or later, with CocoaPods installed


cordova-android	13.0.0 or later
Android `minSdk`	26
Android build tooling	Android Studio with SDK 34+, JDK 17, and a standalone `gradle` binary on `PATH` (recent Android Studio versions no longer bundle one)

See Integrate the Connect SDK into a Cordova app for the full requirements.

Integration path

Integrate the Connect SDK into a Cordova app — install the plugin, create ConnectConfig.json, and call enable().
Identify your users at sign-in and at registration.
Enable push notifications — iOS and Android setups are independent and can be done in either order.
Move your Cordova integration to production when you're ready to release.

Reference

See the Connect Cordova SDK public API reference for the full method list — enable, disable, setLogLevel, logIdentity, and the push namespace.

Sample app

The Acoustic Connect Cordova sample app exercises identity signals and push permission requests on both platforms.
