Anybody used ckeditor 4 with Cordova here ? I am facing some issues in iOS.

Is it safe to continue working on the project from the www folder if the build android cmd is still running? I would think not, but just wanted to see if others do. I ask because build cmd takes some time.

@norman137 says

cordova build essentially just copes the www directory into the platform during its prepare step, it should be relatively safe. Obviously you risk building a broken build if you make changes to two different files where one file depends on the change of the second file... and the prepare step runs in between those changes. But if that happens you'd just have to run build again.

Hello there, I was wondering how I would go about contributing to cordova-ios? I have a feature request, and I‘m happy to implement the code myself as it’s a minor change. Should I just make a PR or should I discuss the changes here first?

@mathewp.94 says

The Orientation preference isn‘t quite as explicit as I would like, ideally I’d be able to select portraitUpright or something like that, which would translate to the app being locked to portrait orientation. At the moment if you use portrait as your setting, the app can orient itself as portrait or upside-down depending on the device's orientation.

@mathewp.94 says

Changing a preference like this probably requires a change to the android lib for Cordova as well (which I also don't mind doing)

@osaintilien55 says

So I had this error below pop up. I then ran “gradle --warning-mode=all”, and then I reran build android, and this same error comes up telling me to use “--warning-mode all” to see the the warnings. How do I do this correctly?

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 7.0. Use ‘--warning-mode all’ to show the individual deprecation warnings.

to make google ads ios conversion events work, should we configure something extra?

I use a third party plugin for firebase but I cannot integrate ios app conversations to google ads

@joshua says

What are the implications of the new “Apple silicon” macs on Cordova development. Like tools and libraries (IDEs, NodeJS)?

Fri, 13 Nov 2020 07:23:28 GMT

@purplecabbage says

There will definitely be issues. Node project has their work cut out for them, and modules that compile on native will fail. This will likely impact cordova tooling.

@bavaravac says

Hello everyone

Please suggest which editor better for cordova development because we need to use functionality like Flowcharts, codemap etc

  1. Visual studio or
  2. Visual studio code Thank you

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 19:31:05 GMT

@purplecabbage says

VSCode works very well @bavaravac

Fri, 13 Nov 2020 07:01:07 GMT

@niklasmerz says

@bavaravac I think Visual Studio (without code) does not support Cordova anymore. VSCode is nice

Fri, 13 Nov 2020 07:12:00 GMT

@bavaravac says

Thank you @niklasmerz @purplecabbage

Which respect we can say VSCode is better than VS? can you please give pros, why is better than VS? because i can work easily start using that editor.

I’ll be 10-15mins later today but plan to join you.

I don‘t like to be shown on recordings, I am just too shy. But I’ld love to help with some AndroidX development tasks. An ‘official’ approach to this task could help a lot. An RFC to discuss this could help. It's probably somewhere allready.

@norman137 says

We talked briefly about androidx in the past, which can be found in this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oarY6ZYj-CU|video (one of the first topics that was talked about in the video)... but there are changes that are being done in API 30 that may force us to use androidx. I forget where to find that discussion... not sure if it was somewheres on slack or if it was on github... but I think it involved requiring the use of https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/webkit/WebViewAssetLoader|WebViewAssetLoader . @dpogue participated in that discussion, maybe he can find it.

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 13:07:44 GMT

@niklasmerz says

Maybe we could talk about CI. Like how to move plugins to Github Actions. http://travis-ci.org|travis-ci.org is moving to http://travis-ci.com|travis-ci.com https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/migrate/open-source-repository-migration

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 13:11:43 GMT

@timbru says

And SauceLabs with Travis is broken since months 😔

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 13:12:05 GMT

@niklasmerz says

Yeah that is bad. All builds are red for some time. Maybe it works with .com 😄

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 13:34:48 GMT

@timbru says

Doubt it, but we should be able to move away from Travis and just use SauceLabs and/or BrowserStack for manual testing. But seems this is a topic up for discussion, especially because paramedic has lots of SauceLabs specific code. (that could be removed, too?)

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 13:37:34 GMT

@niklasmerz says

Yeah paramedic could need some improvements. We could discuss what to do in the future. Builds were really slow in the past too

Sadly I’ve just got a meeting at work and won’t make it this week. Cya next time 🤞

@purplecabbage nononono, I'll watch the recordings.

@purplecabbage can you let me in?

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 16:42:29 GMT

@purplecabbage says

Items:

  • $$$ Can we use funds to buy Travis/gh-actions compute time?
  • Move a plugin to use github actions ( Which plugin? )
  • Bryan - Cordova Electron
  • plugin.xml + package.json - pkg.json should be the source of truth for all meta (name, version. id, … ) plugin.xml should keep resources, assets, source-files, header-files, clobbers, …

😄 Not sure what software you use but DaVinci Resolve is good and free. But its a massive tool for video production. Not a small tool.

Maybe we should switch to another video conferencing platform?^^

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 16:59:10 GMT

yes, thinking of https://meet.jit.si/

Does Apache host any video conferencing software for their projects?

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 17:07:15 GMT

@purplecabbage says

Apache OpenMeetings ?

Thu, 12 Nov 2020 17:09:25 GMT

@purplecabbage says

‘The Apache way’ is considered to be async via email so everyone can have a say, so I doubt there is a hosted service.
