New plugins in ionic-native

Hello Ionic people !

When will be the sim plugin included in ionic-native ?

Using ‘the old fashion style’, I didn’t manage to use the mentioned plugin. By saying ‘old fashion style’, I mean ‘window.plugins.sim.getSimInfo( successCallBack, errorCallBack )’ , but I get an error that property plugins isn’t defined on window object.

Is it possible to include the sim plugin into ionic-native by myself?

It should be pretty easy to add to ionic-native if you’re up for a pull-request.

There’s some guides on how make a wrapper…

# Ionic Native Developer Guide

This is a short guide on creating new plugin wrappers for Ionic Native.


## Creating Plugin Wrappers

First, let's start by creating a new plugin wrapper from template.
 
```
// Call this command, and replace PluginName with the name of the plugin you wish to add
// Make sure to capitalize the first letter, or use CamelCase if necessary.
 
gulp plugin:create -n PluginName

// add -m flag to get a minimal template to start with
gulp plugin:create -m -n PluginName
```

Running the command above will create a new directory `src/@ionic-native/plugins/plugin-name/` with a single file in there: `index.ts`. This file is where all the plugin definitions should be.

I followed this guide while setting up wrapper for backgroundmode plugin.
There is one problem that I can’t seem to fix. When I run the plugin in android it I get error saying plugin not installed. Do you think I m getting this error because I m missing something.

Hello,

Did you try to run cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-background-mode ?
This command will add the background-mode plugin library into plugins folder and also it will insert in package.json file, under cordovaPlugins, the name of the plugin
