@noah.cooper I have users who has problems with SWC.. and it’s looks like that this controller not exist on some devices

additional I found yesterday bug with IAB that the open client portal give me 401 error, but in normal browser or in SWC this work fine….

@norman137 / @niklasmerz / @timbru one of my colleague said today on daily meeting, that I do not need IAB anymore since cordova v10 ? because this is a part of cordova now and once what i need is using normal window.open(url, '_blank')…. do I missing something in release-emails or documentation? 🙂

afaik, we don't have a SWC implementation. But I think that is something that should be replacing IAB.

I think your colleague might have been confused with maybe the WKWebView, which is built into the cordova-ios core in cordova-ios@6 (Cordova V10 installs this version by default), since Apple now rejects apps using the old UIWebView.

@norman137 SVC is other topic and will be a good solution for replacing IAB from code.. but SVC & Chrome Custom Tabs doesn’t work always correct on new mobile devices.. like android 10+ and ios 13+

Has anyone ever ran into an issue where font awesome icons stopped working only on the android app, but on a physical device? It works fine on an android simulator though. Spinning my wheels a bit, I don’t have a physical android device to try to debug. Is there an easy way I could have the person experiencing the issue debug it with the chrome dev tools?

@chadwick.blackford says

@mattwenner1 create a debug apk and run it, after that open dev tools and check what was wrong

@chadwick.blackford says

if u use CDN, then you must put this urls into whitelisted domains, otherwise it will be blocked

Thanks, I’ll try the debug apk. It’s really odd, I was told it worked last week, and I haven’t updated anything recently.

@chadwick.blackford says

@mattwenner1 sometimes other services will be updated, and app crasht…

@mattwenner1 says

@chadwick.blackford is there a way to upload a debug apk to distribute for internal testing?

Tue, 26 Jan 2021 16:45:26 GMT

@mattwenner1 says

I’m running into: “You uploaded a debuggable APK. For security reasons you need to disable debugging before it can be published in Google Play-Upload apk to google play”. Which is understandable….but I need to get it to a non developer with the android device to test

Tue, 26 Jan 2021 16:58:52 GMT

@norman137 says

No, it needs to be released mode to upload to the play store.

Tue, 26 Jan 2021 16:59:34 GMT

@norman137 says

The APK can be side loaded by anyone who has the APK, so the APK could be distributed by any other means.

@norman137 says

The user will have to enable installing APKs from unknown sources.
