Hello , everyone I am facing following error on circleCI when it is installing phonegap-plugin-push

"framework" tag with type "podspec" is deprecated and will be removed. Please use the "podspec" tag.
Running command: pod install --verbose
Failed to install 'phonegap-plugin-push': Error: pod: Command failed with exit code 1```
Has anyone faced similar error before ?

@jordi289 says

Seems like it's an phonegap-plugin-push issue and not cordova

@jcesarmobile says

Considering the plugin is archived and not updated for a long time, the problem is probably cocoapods not finding the plugin dependency because it’s very old

Hello Everyone, yesterday i was able to upgrade my cordova-ios to version 6.1.1 and other libaries as well. But on loading the app, all styling of the app is vanished. I can see following error. Cannot load stylesheet file:///private/var/containers/Bundle/Application/13F6252C-5D08-4B42-9E08-4DE75DB8C436/S.%20AppName.app/www/assets/vendor.css. Failed integrity metadata check. My intention to do upgrade was to remove WebView . Earlier I used other approach to remove WebView. I used cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine plugin to remove WebView but I got same error at that time as well. Can anyone guide to fix this error ?

@norman137 says

cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine is not compatible with cordova-ios@6.x . The plugin code was essentially moved into the cordova-ios (among with many enhancements). You don't need a wkwebview plugin when using cordova-ios@6.x

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 04:26:02 GMT

@abul.asar22 says

I am not using that now. I tried it earlier and at that as well I got the same error.

@abul.asar22 says

I got one answer on googling. The accepted answer is saying: The problem appears to be with an cordova plugin: cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine.Removing the plugin does the trick. App loads normally after rebuilding. But is not going to work if we are upgrading ios.

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 04:37:18 GMT

@norman137 says

If you‘re using cordova-ios@6 then you don’t need the cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine plugin.

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 04:45:04 GMT

@abul.asar22 says

yup.. i tried that earlier, I am not using that now. As you said cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine is used internally with cordova-ios6 so may be that it is throwing this error.

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 05:02:22 GMT

@erisu says

cordova-plugin-wkwebview-engine , the plugin itself is not installed at all with Cordova iOS 6.x..
All of the plugin’s code was manually moved to the Cordova-iOS repo.
Since UIWebView was deprecated and no longer accepted by Apple, it was completely deleted from the Cordova-iOS repo. Because of that, we needed a webview enabled by default so that the app will still display. This is why WKWebView is integrated by default.

@abul.asar22 says

Any specific reason for the error I mentioned above ? ☝️

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 05:29:20 GMT

@erisu says

I am not sure if your app is trying to load any external resources, but could you try and add the follow to your config.xml
&lt;preference name="hostname" value="localhost" /&gt;```
and see if that makes any difference?

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 06:00:31 GMT

@abul.asar22 says

Sure… i’ll try this one.

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 07:30:46 GMT

@abul.asar22 says

It worked. Thanks.

@abul.asar22 says

What is the reason for this error TypeError: undefined is not an object (evaluating 'window.plugins.actionsheet') . I am getting one similar error related for window.device.platform but it seems because of cordova-plugin-device which is 1.1.1 version. I am upgrading it. But I am not sure about window.plugins.actionsheet .

Tue, 15 Sep 2020 07:49:37 GMT

@erisu says

I dont know anything about the actionsheet plugin. You will need to contact the plugin developer for that one as Apache Cordova does not maintain that plugin.

Hi everyone, we are using WK Webview and React and want to trigger another action when a user holds a button instead of pressing it. I try to listen for the events touchstart and touchend but they are only triggered after I release the button again. I want touchstart to immediatly fire when the button is being pressed. I also tried adding the CSS property touch-action: manipulation without success. Did someone of you implemented a long press on iOS?

Hi all, does anyone have experience with cocoapods? When I install the plugin, it does not install the pods as well. https://github.com/AyogoHealth/cordova-plugin-update-notifier/issues/4

Mon, 14 Sep 2020 11:53:22 GMT

@aquinn says

Is this plugin still needed if we are using cordova-cli v 10? https://github.com/mircoc/cordova-plugin-settings-hook

Hi team I am trying to incorporate markers on map on cordovaios6.1.1. As per documentation of a library have loaded its url with desired key,with div & other initialization code . After the url is requested 3 more url (hidden) are called/hit i.e from within the library it is directly hit but the url scheme turns out to be app://url1, app://url2 and app://url3 due to which error appears with 404 status. While in android the same code works as expected with https:// as scheme. Is this because of wkwebkit implementation ? How will I changes scheme of url that are not accessible directly?

Hi folks, I’m seeing a bug where images don’t have the correct orientation in a media picker plugin I’m using. Some are rotated 90 degrees and others are rotated 180, whereas some are upright. It looks like only images taken by the camera are affected. I found this thread which looks like the same issue but I haven’t been able to make the code work for my plugin: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14066038/why-does-an-image-captured-using-camera-intent-gets-rotated-on-some-devices-on-a|https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14066038/why-does-an-image-captured-using-camera-intent-gets-rotated-on-some-devices-on-a. Has anyone encountered and solved something like this previously?

Hi fellows,
I have a Cordova applicaiton on which i had created WinRT components that run some background task on systemEvent when the application gets updated. I have referenced the WinRT component in the Cordova project and managed to register and/or unregister the events through Javascript.
The problem i have is an error that is raised and displayed in Event Viewer that says: “The background task with entry point and name failed to activate with error code 0x80131040”.
So the event is found and registered but cannot be ACTIVATED ? Why ? Any Idea ?
Thanks

On Android, you might be able to use the built-in BarcodeDetector API
