Hello everybody, i'm mobile developper (4 apps iOS, 4 apps Android, 1 app windows) and i see some news from 2021 (multiple sources) meaning that Cordova will maybe not be “up to date” (for last iOS/Android versions) in the future. Do you have any news about that please ? Of course, i prefer to continue to use Cordova (command line).

There is no official statement. I personally think Cordova will be able to keep up with Android and iOS for the future as we have some dedicated people working on int. I recently wrote about Cordova on my personal blog: https://blog.merzlabs.com/posts/cordova-2022/

Thanks a lot for your help today, it was difficult but i succesfully build my app with the last version of Android Studio then executed on the SDK 31 simulator. For moment there is still problem with very few plugins, but i can continue my tests to anticipate.

Just to note that while my PR adds support to API 31 for the cordova android, it's only support at the core. Individual plugins themselves may require further updates to properly support API 31.

Hello everybody, i try to build my app with Cordova 10 (sdk android 31) instead of Cordova 9 and sdk 30. But i get the following error. Do you have any idea please ? I use cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release 4.0.0
cordova platform add android@10.1.1 Using cordova-fetch for cordova-android@10.1.1 ... Installing “cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release” for android Subproject Path: CordovaLib Subproject Path: app Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open ‘./package.json’ at Object.openSync (fs.js:458:3) at Object.readFileSync (fs.js:360:35) at parsePackageJson (C:\Users\alex\Documents\GitHub\hooliapps\src\planningify\google\release\plugins\cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release\scripts\apply-changes.js💯37) ...

seems like the plugin is looking for
./package.json, likely based on CWD so it‘s expecting that your cordova project has a package.json -- which it should, but it doesn’t exists.

@alex678 says
everything works for Cordova 9 (android sdk 30), there is a change about that ?
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 12:27:42 GMT
@norman137 says
There seems to be a disconnect in terminology...
Cordova (as in the cordova cli version) doesn‘t have anything to do with android, other than a specific cli version will default to a specific cordova-android major. cordova-android is the cordova’s android implementation, and version 9.x was built/tested for API 29, cordova-android@10.x (current latest) is built/tested against API 30.
Currently cordova doesn't support API 31, that will come in our next major release.
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 12:31:05 GMT
@norman137 says
But trying to target API 31 on cordova-android@10 usually yields actual build issues, not plugin installation issues.
My best advice is to determine where the plugin is trying to read
./package.jsonand ensure that file actually exists in the location it expects it. It may involve manually chaning it's script file atC:\Users\alex\Documents\GitHub\hooliapps\src\planningify\google\release\plugins\cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release\scripts\apply-changes.jsto add additional logging.

@alex678 says
Ok thanks, it seems that the only plugin who crash is cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 12:35:44 GMT
@norman137 says
yah so, if you‘re changing the target sdk to 31, even after you fix that plugin issue, you’ll run into build issues because API 31 requires the use of AGP (Android Gradle Plugin) 7.x - Which requires Java 11 and build tools 31.x
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 12:38:47 GMT
@alex678 says
so is best i want next cordova release ?
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 12:43:01 GMT
@norman137 says
For now it would be recommended to stick with cordova-android@10 targeting SDK 30. If you're deploying to Google Play store, then targeting SDK 30 is required.
Due to the volunteer nature of Apache projects I can't guarantee on any timelines for releases, but we do try to have required releases out to satisfy Google requirements.

You could install my PR if you wanted to test API 31, but it does require some breaking changes to your environment.
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 12:52:46 GMT
@alex678 says
Thanks, where can i get more infos about your PR please for API 31 ? for me, is not a problem doing any change to my env. (i can regenerate it when i want).
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 12:59:15 GMT
@norman137 says
I'll update my PR with the details
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 13:01:19 GMT
@norman137 says
See “Other Remarks” - https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/pull/1410
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 13:01:49 GMT
@norman137 says
Let me know if you have any questions.
Needless to say, this isn't suitable for production releases, just for testing / feedback.
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 13:59:06 GMT
@alex678 says
I tried to follow all the tutorial, i added build tools in path also. But i still get this error. Any idea please ?
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:02:18 GMT
@norman137 says
Doesn‘t look like you’re using my PR
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:02:46 GMT
@alex678 says
I installed it with npm install C:\Users\alex\Documents\GitHub\cordova-android (i took with github your PR). But i will retry and recheck this.
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:03:15 GMT
@norman137 says
if you cloned my repo and switche dto my pr branch, you might need to
npm packit
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:03:21 GMT
@norman137 says
then install the tgz file
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:04:13 GMT
@norman137 says
alternatively you should be able to do
cordova platform add <https://github.com/breautek/cordova-android.git#API31>as well
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:04:21 GMT
@alex678 says
ok i try that thx.
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:04:46 GMT
@norman137 says
and you 'd have to use
cordova platform addnotnpm install
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:05:35 GMT
@norman137 says
cordova platform adddoesnpm installbehind the scenes, but it does some extra stuff as well in preparing the native project.
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:10:10 GMT
@alex678 says
Thanks a lot, with https github com breautek/cordova-android.git#API31" Build tool was found, i can continue my tests. Now it remains the error <plugin name=“cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release” spec=“4.0.0” /> i will continue to check
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:35:20 GMT
@alex678 says
For info, i found something not in the guide, and it seems mandatory, i needed to create the following file in the project. Then, the correct version of Gradle is loaded. What do you think about that please ?
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:36:35 GMT
@norman137 says
gradle should be configured on the first prepare/build
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:38:09 GMT
@norman137 says
Shouldn't need any manual intervention
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 14:39:43 GMT
@alex678 says
ok so i have maybe a problem with this. i will check
Tue, 12 Apr 2022 19:00:43 GMT
@alex678 says
Do you have any idea about this problem please ? Version 4.0.0 of the plugin, with last version of Cordova for Android SDK 31. Installing “cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release” for android Subproject Path: CordovaLib Subproject Path: app cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release: ERROR: EXCEPTION: Failed to load dependencies. If using cordova@6 CLI, ensure this plugin is installed with the --fetch option: Error: Cannot find module ‘C:\Users\alex\Documents\GitHub\hooliapps\src\planningify\google\release\node_modules\semver\index.js’.
