How to call SOAP service from Phonegap (iPhone app)

Question

I am trying to call a SOAP service using this SOAP client but it is not working for me. Please help me. How can I send and receive XML SOAP with Phonegap?

Answer 1

Phonegap is HTML/JS/CSS commonly communicating via XHR/Ajax. It's better to use jQuery Ajax functions. You can get the details here.

Eg:

If you find any cross-domain issues (or working in a browser and not working with simulator/device), please refer to the below steps.

Go to the Resources folder, you can see a file named Cordova.plist. Click on that and you can see the Root elements. Right click on the Root, add a row, set the key as ExternalHosts with type Array.

Expand the item, and add an item as item0. Give it type string and enter the value as '*'.

Don't forget to save the Cordova.plist after changes (just use cmd+s).
