Add a native Plugin to Cordova 2.9.0 xcode

Aim is to have a "View PDF" button which allows the user to view the PDF on an iPad.

Here is the plugin I want to add to Cordova (Phonegap).

This is the code on GitHub.

So far I have updated my html file to run the scripts and same function on button click (All this is in the body tag like his example):

<button id="externalPdf" onclick="app.openExternalDoc();">Open pdf</button>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../assets/js/index.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../assets/js/ExternalFileUtil.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    console.log("initialize app");
    app.initialize();
</script>

I have copied the Index.js and ExternalFileUtil.js into the project.

I have linked the 2 Objective-C file to the plugin folder (Not sure if this is correct)

And I have edited the config.xml file to run the plugin:

<plugins>
    <plugin name="ExternalFileUtil" value="CDVExternalFileUtil"/>
</plugins>

It still doesn't seem to work though, any ideas?

Thanks

The plugin needs updating to use the new plugin signature in order to use it with the most recent versions of Phonegap. The JS is OK, but the Objective-C needs updating.

For example, change:

- (void) openWith:(NSMutableArray*)arguments withDict:(NSMutableDictionary*)options;

to 

- (void) openWith:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command;
