Plugins config-file not added to .plist file

[EinfachHans]

Bug Report

Problem

I developed a Plugin, which has some <config-file> Entrys. When i build the App for ios, they are not appended to the .plist File.

Information

For example i have the Following in the ios platform part of my plugin:

<config-file target="*-Info.plist" parent="UIBackgroundModes">
    <array>
        <string>bluetooth-central</string>
    </array>
</config-file>

After building, the .plist file does't include "bluetooth-central" in the "UIBackgroundModes". An other Plugin, that i use for Location, does the same for adding "location" and this works and appears.

Am i doing anything wrong?

But In the ion.json File, it is present:

{
    "xml": "<array><string>bluetooth-central</string></array>",
    "count": 1
}

I noticed that config files, defined in this Plugin (https://github.com/jeduan/cordova-plugin-facebook4), are not present in my plist either.

Version information

I'm using cordova-ios@5.1.1

Maybe related to #581 , but it is closed (and merged), but still not works for me

Can you confirm you're using the latest version of the cli?

cordova -v should read..

9.0.0 (cordova-lib@9.0.1)

[EinfachHans]

Yes, output is: 9.0.0 (cordova-lib@9.0.1)

Can someone say me where this merging of the plugins.xml file happens in cordova-ios? Than i can try to fix it

[erisu]

The munging process is not in cordova-ios. It is in the core library cordova-common.

https://github.com/apache/cordova-common

I just added the help wanted label, may be related to other issues linked in #793.

This is covered by apache/cordova-common#144 and fixed by apache/cordova-common#148

[EinfachHans]

@dpa99c In which Version of cordova is this fixed?

[dpa99c]

@HansKrywaa the fix is on the master branch of cordova-common so is as yet unreleased (the latest npm release is cordova-common@4.0.1).
The latest release cordova-ios@6.1.0 pins `cordova-common@^4.0.1.

TL;DR: it will take a release of cordova-common then a release of cordova-ios which references it for this fix to become implicit in cordova-ios.

In the meantime, if you need to, you can install directly off my fork of cordova-ios which contains this fix:

cordova platform add https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-ios

Ok understand 😃 No not that important, as i included all the stuff into my config.xml. Thanks for explaining!

[EinfachHans]

Closed as cordova-common@4.0.2 is used since cordova-ios@6.1.1 - thank you
