Hey, everybody! I am planning to buy an M1 MacBook. Has anyone tested the compatibility of cordova with M1 chips?

I know lots of virtualisation software doesn‘t work properly on M1, like Docker[1]. This will be a problem if you want to develop for Android (and use the android emulators). Google is working on building an M1 compatible emulator, but it’s still in preview last I heard[2].

The preview has some limitations as it stands now, including not being able to run webviews.

There‘s been a few bugs reported for M1, but have a hard time finding them. I don’t believe there were valid to begin with though.

Hi folks, need some help please.

I haven‘t succeeded in setting the tools namespace on my Cordova app’s manifest file. The correct way to do this is to use the <edit-config> tag in the config.xml, like this:

            &lt;manifest xmlns:tools="<http://schemas.android.com/tools>" /&gt;
        &lt;/edit-config&gt;```
. I then use it to modify a `&lt;uses-permission&gt;` tag like this:
```        &lt;config-file parent="/manifest" target="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" &gt;
            &lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_BACKGROUND_LOCATION" tools:node="replace" /&gt;
        &lt;/config-file&gt;```
But I keep getting this error:
&gt; The prefix "tools" for attribute "tools:node" associated with an element type "uses-permission" is not bound.
Any ideas for how to do this? Thanks a lot in advance.

You need the xmlns:tools="<http://schemas.android.com/tools>" on the widget tag in your config.xml
