Usage:
Should be used after deviceready event has fired, and before any senstive data has been attempted to be transmitted.
The object returned from the installIfNeededAsync()'s promise is a JSON object that has a key of providerInstalledUpdated with not_available, installed, or action_required.
The app consuming this can warn the user after that additional actions need to be taken, if necessary.
ES6+/Ionic:
declare var SecurityProvider;
...
SecurityProvider.installIfNeededAsync().then(data => {
console.log('Everything is good: ' + data);
}).catch(error => {
console.log("Something is wrong with this device's Google Play Services");
console.log('What is the error?: ' + error);
});
