Hello,

Our main focus is on software development.
We support numerous cross platforms but we are not activly working on them.
Can you please let us know where exactly the problem is and maybe someone from our development team can help.

The example provided within this repository is not standard to the usual Ionic steps and guides to add a platform, thus making it confusing to people who were used on how usually we add an Ionic native plugins. Also, there is no ionic-native wrapper that we can include to NgModule, the example is editing the index.html straight away and not putting it inside any typescript file or angular components.

I think we will understand better if it is more thoroughly documented and follow Ionic standards on plugin installation.

Hello @adityapurwa ,
this is how you can Integrate BlinkID to an existing ionic app:

1. add the BlinkID cordova plugin:
   cordova plugin add blinkid-cordova.
2. declare cordova's variable to use it's plugins:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
declare var cordova;
@Component({...})
export class HomePage {...}

Note:
you don't have to add it to app.module, you can just use it directly.

3. Make sure you set blinkID's configurations correctly:

var types = ["USDL", "MRTD", "Barcode"];
var imageTypes = ["IMAGE_SUCCESSFUL_SCAN", "IMAGE_FACE", "IMAGE_DOCUMENT"];
var language = "en";
var licenseiOs = "<your iOS license>";
var licenseAndroid = "<your Android license>";

4. then you can follow the decontamination:

 cordova.plugins.blinkIdScanner.scan(...)

Notice the cordova variable that we declared in the second step.
