Update Appache Cordova (PhoneGap) mobile app

We have an existing application that hasn't been updated in over a year. We need help updating and resubmitting to apple and android stores. Thorough technical details documentation provided.

There will be at least three more additional stages of this project which will include, adding/updating modules, building out the front end admin, and users functionality. Ideally this would turn into a longer term maintenance relationship as well.

There is a 2 week time budget for the first two stages of this first phase which will commence upon winning bid.

There will be two 20% milestone payments according to stages below, followed by the balance upon completion.

Stage 1 Acceptance:

Recompile and build application onto your dev environment

Stage 2 Acceptance:

Updating for minimal compliance to resubmit for distribution

Stage 3 Acceptance:

Publish App successfully to both stores.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

General Technical Overview:

The application is powered by Apache Cordova, with a few native plugins. JQuery/jQuery Mobile are the primary frameworks powering the app. The native plugins are used to provide background location updates, as well as signature processing.

----

In order to convert between the different formats of iOS and Android, FFMpeg is used to transcode video and audio to a format both platforms understand. For this reason, FFMPeg, as well as cron, is required. The cron script is located on the server, called cron.sh.

----

Looking through the PHP files in the Web_HTML directory, you can see how the app communicates.

Virtually all communication is done using JSON, in varying formats.

On first sign-in, the app sends username, password, and deviceID to the server, as POST variables. This script does two things, both authentication, and logging the DeviceID, and userID correlation. This allows some accountability, that users are using the same device. Also, this script provides the application with a token, within a cookie. All other requests are authenticated using this cookie.

------

Upon submission, submit_form is called, with various post variables. formsubmission is the most important one, which is a JSON array, of form names, and their respective values. It does NOT include text reminders that are added to the form.

Location updates are done through submit_location, which uses POST variables again.

That is all of the major functionality, everything else is fairly straightforward, or can be found in the PHP scripts
