I'm having trouble with edit-config conflicts. I use cordova build to install plugins, using the definitions in config.xml. cordova plugin add has a --force option. Is there any way to use the --force with cordova build?

Hi,

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 10:37:03 GMT

@xavier.serra says

After upgrading my cordova project to:

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 10:37:12 GMT

@xavier.serra says

Npm 6.14.11
Node 10.23.3
Cordova platform android 9.0.0```

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 10:37:36 GMT

@xavier.serra says

Plugin:

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 10:37:38 GMT

@xavier.serra says

cordova-plugin-camera 4.1.0 "Camera"

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 10:37:54 GMT

@xavier.serra says

Randomly crashes the application after opening the camera to take a picture.

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 10:38:47 GMT

@xavier.serra says

Application is closed from time to time. Experienced on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 10:38:51 GMT

@xavier.serra says

Any ideas?

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 10:39:23 GMT

@xavier.serra says

Newer plugin updates also give the same problem

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 11:50:20 GMT

@xavier.serra says

It also happens with the following configuration:

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 11:50:21 GMT

@xavier.serra says

Npm 5.6.0
Node v9.8.0```

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:32:38 GMT

@timbru says

You should avoid both Node v6 and v9, use v12 or v14

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:32:59 GMT

@timbru says

They are both end of life and unsupported.

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:35:21 GMT

@xavier.serra says

Dear @timbru

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:35:30 GMT

@xavier.serra says

With node 10.23.3 also happens

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:35:41 GMT

@xavier.serra says

also building with v14 happens too

@norman137 says

Is it an actual crash or is the webview is getting killed?
if the latter, that is normal behaviour on Android. See https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera#android-quirks

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:48:11 GMT

@xavier.serra says

Seems webview is getting killed

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:53:40 GMT

@xavier.serra says

I attach the logcat if somebody is interested:

@norman137 says

Do you have AndroidX enabled?

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:57:54 GMT

@xavier.serra says

Yes I have

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:58:17 GMT

@xavier.serra says

<preference name=“AndroidXEnabled” value=“true” />

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:58:19 GMT

@norman137 says

Are you using the androidx adapteR?

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:58:39 GMT

@norman137 says

e.g: https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter ?

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:59:01 GMT

@xavier.serra says

this one:

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:59:02 GMT

@xavier.serra says

cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter 1.1.3 “cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter”

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 12:59:03 GMT

@xavier.serra says

yes

Fri, 26 Feb 2021 13:03:45 GMT

@norman137 says

k... I would recommend creating a sample reproduction app[1].
I would try it first without AndroidX enabled, which I suspect it will work. The camera plugin does make use of the legacy support libraries still. Then add AndroidX with the adapter. If it breaks in the sample app, then I‘d recommend we move this to GitHub issues[2]. It would be good to keep track of cases where the androidx adapter seems to fail. (Maybe it’s because we are using v27 of the support libs instead of v28)

Hi, is there a reference to automate this: <resource-file src="google-services.json" target="app/google-services.json" /> Also, a way to set the target into a --variable PATH="" ? Preferably a hooks script for plugins? Do we have a documentation or sample for that? Thank you.

Hi, is there a plugin.xml counterpart of: <resource-file src="google-services.json" target="app/google-services.json" /> I would like to src= the www/google-services.json folder from the Cordova project. Then, target= the app/google-services.json.
I‘m not sure what’s the proper directory for this, could someone advise? Thank you.
