# Cordova SDK quick start

Get started with the Pushwoosh Cordova SDK using this quick and simple example

## Prerequisites

To integrate the Pushwoosh Cordova SDK into your app, you will need the following:

<TranslatedFragment id="prerequisites-plugins" />

## Download the example project

```bash
# Clone the SDK repository and navigate to the example project
git clone https://github.com/Pushwoosh/pushwoosh-phonegap-plugin.git

# Navigate to example directory
cd pushwoosh-phonegap-plugin/example/newdemo/
```

## Configure the project

Install the dependencies:

```bash
npm i
```

Add the Pushwoosh plugin:
```bash
cordova plugin add ../../ --link --nofetch
```

Open **www/js/index.js** and update the `pushwoosh.onDeviceReady` call:

```javascript
pushwoosh.onDeviceReady({
    appid: "XXXXX-XXXXX"
});
```

Replace the `appid` value with your **Pushwoosh App Code**.

### iOS

###### 1. Set the Bundle Identifier

Open the **platforms/ios/newdemo.xcworkspace** file in Xcode.

Set the **Bundle Identifier** for each target:

- `newdemo`: your app's package name. (eg. com.example.pushwoosh)

###### 2. Add capabilities

To enable Push Notifications, you need to add certain capabilities.

In the Signing & Capabilities section, add the following capabilities:
- `Push Notifications`
- `Background Modes`. After adding this capability, check the box for `Remote notifications`.

###### 3. Set the API Token

In your `ios/newdemo/Info.plist` set the `Pushwoosh_API_TOKEN` key to the [Pushwoosh Device API Token](/developer/api-reference/api-access-token/#device-api-token)

### Android

###### 1. Setup google-services.json

Copy your `google-services.json` file to the root directory of the project

###### 2. Set the package name

Open **android/app/build.gradle** and set the **applicationId** to your app's package name. (eg. `com.example.pushwoosh`)

###### 3. Set the API Token

Open your **android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml** file and add the following metadata inside the `<application>` tag:

```xml title="AndroidManifest.xml"
<meta-data android:name="com.pushwoosh.apitoken" android:value="__YOUR_PUSHWOOSH_DEVICE_API_TOKEN__" />
```
Replace `__YOUR_PUSHWOOSH_DEVICE_API_TOKEN__` with your [Pushwoosh Device API Token](/developer/api-reference/api-access-token/#device-api-token).

## Run the project

1. Build and run the project.
2. Toggle the **Register for notifications** switch.
3. Grant permission for push notifications. The device will be registered with Pushwoosh.

## Send a push notification

Go back to the Pushwoosh Control Panel and [send a push notification](/product/messaging-channels/push-notifications/send-push-notifications/one-time-push) to your registered device.
