Things I learned while playing with Cordova

  • use Webstorm to develop your app
  • deploy via Webstorm (it has a Cordova configuration template)
  • try your app in Chrome by clicking the Chrome button in Webstorm
  • configure JetBrains IDE plugin in Chrome to allow for cross-origin requests
  • your Android app will complain about cross-origin requests as well
  • you can debug your deployed Android app via Chrome through chrome://inspect
  • if you're previewing your page in Chrome, you may need to disable web security in order to use fetch() pointing to other domains. See this
  • to avoid having Webstorm accidentaly running the emulator because your real device is no longer being seen, create a Cordova run configuration, pass run as Command, choose android as Platform and, most importantly, pass --device as Extra arguments (this will force Webstorm to give up instead of falling back to the emulator)
  • use watch -n1 adb devices to keep track of your mobile connection, because it breaks sometimes (macOS users may have to brew install watch first)
