Hello guys, i have a problem with <input type="file" /> .In particular if i put any on those variations cordova would not show me the picker(chooser) with the camera app. The variations i tried are: <input type="file" /> <input type="file" accept="image/*" <input type="file" accept="image/*" capture /> <input type="file" accept="image/*" capture="camera" /> and so on. I think the problem is with SystemWebChromeClient in which cordova doesn‘t support the https://www.w3.org/TR/html-media-capture/ capture attribute. I’m considering to override SystemWebChromeClient method onShowFileChooser that handles <input type="file" /> . What do you recommend?
The final result i would like to have is a picker where the user can choose the “Camera” alongside with other compatible apps. As for now the camera is not showed. Thanks

Does anyone have experience creating multiple “branded versions” of the same app like this idea below:
“white-label an app. For example, there are white-labeled apps for restaurants. The functionality is exactly the same but the branding is different.”

yes

So first of all, Apple policies are sort of vague on whether this is allowed anymore or not

@dpogue says

I built https://www.npmjs.com/package/seymour to allow us to make multiple builds of the same codebase with different app names/IDs

@dpogue says

You would still need to deal with things like changing icons/logos

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 21:59:05 GMT

@dpogue says

Our process for that was usually to have a res_brandname folder, and move it to res before each build, then config.xml just referenced all the icons from res

@mattwenner1 says

Yeah from what I read on Apple I wasn’t sure if it was even allowed still……
This looks nice, I’ll check it out!
I’m guessing the answer is yes, but for each app I’ll have to set up their own APN for push notifications and then service ids for sign in with apple as each apps unique?
My first red flag for sign in with apple is if the user access the platform via the web, it would have to use the same service id

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 22:31:10 GMT

@dpogue says

yep

Mon, 09 Nov 2020 22:31:30 GMT

@dpogue says

unique app ID for each, unique push certificates for each, etc.

@mattwenner1 says

Cool, thanks for the confirmation before I jump into all of this

Apple doesn’t like if you publish them all, if you sell them to customers and the customers publish them on their own account then shouldn’t be a problem

@mattwenner1 says

interesting. I’d noticed that Epic has quite a few branded apps for different healthcare systems. I bet that is how they’re doing it.

Hi all, just joined. I'm having some issues in creating a mac-osx build.

The pkg builds fine but when verifying from Apple - App Store Connect, i get these 2 major issues.


ERROR ITMS-90237: "The product archive package's signature is invalid. Ensure that it is signed with your "3rd Party Mac Developer Installer" certificate."```
For the icon issue, i see that the build process first creates `builder-effective-config.yaml` file and in there it sets `icon: installer.png` even though i've defined it as icon.icns in my main config.xml

For the second issue, im using
```"electron": {
      "mac": {
          "package": [
            "pkg"
          ],
"signing": {
            "release": {
              "identity": "Company Limited (ABCD123456)",
              "entitlements": "Entitlements-Release.plist",
              "entitlementsInherit": "Entitlements-Release-Inherit.plist",
              "provisioningProfile": "MacAppStoreDistribution.provisionprofile"
            }```
and i created entitlements files with these
```&lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.app-sandbox&lt;/key&gt;
    &lt;true/&gt;

and

&lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.app-sandbox&lt;/key&gt;
&lt;true/&gt;
&lt;key&gt;com.apple.security.inherit&lt;/key&gt;
&lt;true/&gt;```
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
