Load external URL in trigger.io UIWebView

Question

I have a pre-existing backbone application (made to be loaded in a native iOS UIWebView) that I'm trying to (quickly) migrate over to trigger.io in order to make use of the easy image caching/access to the camera.

So far I've tried setting window.location in a tiny shim, but this causes trigger.io to forward the URL request to mobile safari. I also created a native module and tried loading a request on the webView directly, as well as calling loadURL on the ForgeViewController. Both had the same effect of launching mobile safari.

I'd love to be able to serve my application in its current form while also being able to take advantage of trigger.io's features. Is this possible?

Answer 1

This is possible, but disabled by default to prevent external websites gaining access to native functionality.

To enable this add your site to the trusted urls setting under general in the app config. URLs should follow chrome style match patterns documented here: http://developer.chrome.com/extensions/match_patterns.html
