Using phonegap, any way to link to a view controller in xcode?

I have tried to search this but haven't really found what I was looking for. It appears the "child browser" plugin might have done what I wanted, but it appears to be depreciated.

I have a phonegap based project, but Id like to have an in-app settings page that interacts with the settings bundle that doesn't appear to be possible with phonegap itself.

Is there a way to create a viewcontroller in xcode that would be the settings page and be able to access it via phonegap?

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

You need to use cordova.exec API to communicate between native functionality and hybrid app.

make sure you already define your plugin in your config.xml

<feature name="CustomPlugin">
      <param name="ios-package" value="CustomPlugin" />
</feature>

Implementing the plug-in by using Objective-C code

CustomPlugin.h

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import <Cordova/CDV.h>

@interface CustomPlugin : CDVPlugin

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

@end

CustomPlugin.m

#import "CustomPlugin.h"

    @implementation CustomPlugin

    - (void)sayHello:(CDVInvokedUrlCommand*)command{

        NSString *responseString =
            [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Hello World, %@", [command.arguments objectAtIndex:0]];

        CDVPluginResult *pluginResult =
            [CDVPluginResult resultWithStatus:CDVCommandStatus_OK messageAsString:responseString];

        [self.commandDelegate sendPluginResult:pluginResult callbackId:command.callbackId];
    }

    @end

Calling a plug-in from JavaScript

function initial(){
    var name = $("#NameInput").val();
    cordova.exec(sayHelloSuccess, sayHelloFailure, "CustomPlugin", "sayHello", [name]);
}

function sayHelloSuccess(data){
    alert("OK: " + data);
}

function sayHelloFailure(data){
    alert("FAIL: " + data);
}
