Hi

I am playing around today with adapting/building my iOS/Android app for the mac desktop. I’ve built it and it works great, except that my email feature no longer works.

native.showPopup("mail", options)

Is there another way to do this that works on a mac, or not?

thanks for making mac desktop apps possible!

cheers.

The only way to do email is to do:

system.openURL( “mailto:someone@someemailaddress.tld” )

This will open up their email client have they have one.  People using webmail like Yahoo or gMail probably won’t have an email client, but for those using Apple Mail or Thunderbird it will open a new message to the person in the URL.  You can’t pre-write anything.
