I am attempting to build a PhoneGap iOS client for a basic SignalR chat server I have running (ASP.NET MVC 4). Everything works great when accessing it from a page in a browser but I just can't seem to get it to connect from the PhoneGap app. Here's the relevant parts of my code:
Server global.asax
protected void Application_Start()
{
// Register the default hubs route: ~/signalr * This must be registered before any other routes
RouteTable.Routes.MapHubs(new HubConfiguration { EnableCrossDomain = true });
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
WebApiConfig.Register(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration);
FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
Server web.config
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"></modules>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Server hub
public class ChatHub : Hub
{
public void Send(string name, string message)
{
Clients.All.broadcastMessage(name, message);
}
}
PhoneGap client

//};
// Set initial focus to message input box.

$.connection.hub.start({ jsonp: true }).done(function () {
alert("connected");
$('#sendmessage').click(function () {
// Html encode display name and message.
var encodedName = $('<div />').text($('#username').val()).html();
var encodedMsg = $('<div />').text($('#message').val()).html();
// Call the Send method on the hub.
chat.send(encodedName, encodedMsg);
// Clear text box and reset focus for next comment.
$('#message').val('').focus();
});
}).fail(function () {
alert("Failed to connect");
});
});
</script>
</body>
I've been through a ton of sites that talk about bits and pieces of it but can't get it figured out.
Thanks in advance, Jason
