Allow Cross Domain AJAX Requests

I’m developing a mobile app that I would like to make an AJAX call to WordPress to query a custom table in the database. I’m pretty sure I’m getting a cross domain origin problem, as even a simple function I have in a plugin is ignored.

// from the plugin
// In the Constructor for the class
add_action('wp_ajax_nopriv_weekly_push', array($this,'weekly_push'));

function weekly_push() {  // just to return something in JSON

$content = array(
	today => "not yesterday",
	tomorrow => "not today",
	yesterday =>"none of the above");
	
wp_send_json($content);

die();

// In the phone app

      var notificationOpenedCallback = function(jsonData) {
 alert("the callback is running");
    var data = {
    action : "weekly_push",
    type: 'POST',
    crossDomain:true ,
    dataType : "json" };
    jQuery.post("http://example.com/wp_admin/ajax.php", data, function(response) {
	jQuery("#feedback").html(response);
	});
	     
     alert(JSON.stringify(response));
};

The mobile app is recieving a push notification, but the data size limit is too small. How can I allow the mobile app (who doesn’t even have a domain of its own) access the function in order to aggregate the data needed?

Thanks in advance
