Ionic/Cordova update platform config
#!/usr/bin/env node
/** This hook updates platform configuration files based on preferences and config-file data defined in config.xml.
Currently only the AndroidManifest.xml and IOS *-Info.plist file are supported.
See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/28198983/ionic-cordova-add-intent-filter-using-config-xml
Preferences:
1. Preferences defined outside of the platform element will apply to all platforms
2. Preferences defined inside a platform element will apply only to the specified platform
3. Platform preferences take precedence over common preferences
4. The preferenceMappingData object contains all of the possible custom preferences to date including the
target file they belong to, parent element, and destination element or attribute
Config Files
1. config-file elements MUST be defined inside a platform element, otherwise they will be ignored.
2. config-file target attributes specify the target file to update. (AndroidManifest.xml or *-Info.plist)
3. config-file parent attributes specify the parent element (AndroidManifest.xml) or parent key (*-Info.plist)
that the child data will replace or be appended to.
4. config-file elements are uniquely indexed by target AND parent for each platform.
5. If there are multiple config-file's defined with the same target AND parent, the last config-file will be used
6. Elements defined WITHIN a config-file will replace or be appended to the same elements relative to the parent element
7. If a unique config-file contains multiples of the same elements (other than uses-permission elements which are
selected by by the uses-permission name attribute), the last defined element will be retrieved.
Examples:
AndroidManifest.xml
NOTE: For possible manifest values see http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro.html
<platform name="android">
//These preferences are actually available in Cordova by default although not currently documented
<preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="8" />
<preference name="android-maxSdkVersion" value="19" />
<preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="19" />
//custom preferences examples
<preference name="android-windowSoftInputMode" value="stateVisible" />
<preference name="android-installLocation" value="auto" />
<preference name="android-launchMode" value="singleTop" />
<preference name="android-activity-hardwareAccelerated" value="false" />
<preference name="android-manifest-hardwareAccelerated" value="false" />
<preference name="android-configChanges" value="orientation" />
<preference name="android-theme" value="@android:style/Theme.Black.NoTitleBar" />
<config-file target="AndroidManifest.xml" parent="/*>
<supports-screens
android:xlargeScreens="false"
android:largeScreens="false"
android:smallScreens="false" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_CONTACTS" android:maxSdkVersion="15" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_CONTACTS" />
</config-file>
</platform>
*-Info.plist
<platform name="ios">
<config-file platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist" parent="UISupportedInterfaceOrientations">
<array>
<string>UIInterfaceOrientationLandscapeOmg</string>
</array>
</config-file>
<config-file platform="ios" target="*-Info.plist" parent="SomeOtherPlistKey">
<string>someValue</string>
</config-file>
</platform>
NOTE: Currently, items aren't removed from the platform config files if you remove them from config.xml.
For example, if you add a custom permission, build the remove it, it will still be in the manifest.
If you make a mistake, for example adding an element to the wrong parent, you may need to remove and add your platform,
or revert to your previous manifest/plist file.
TODO: We may need to capture all default manifest/plist elements/keys created by Cordova along with any plugin elements/keys to compare against custom elements to remove.

@ThorvaldAagaard your error is related to @AgDude's comment about error reporting. You're not seeing the original error. Change the code as per @AgDude's instructions and you will see the actual error.

My AndroidManifest xml not being modified 😢

This works for me but only after I make these changes, and noting some things that are somehow implicitly assumed

  • needed to change _.indexBy => _.keyBy
  • looks like this script is expected to be placed in the same location as config.xml. if you place this script in a folder that is not the same as the config.xml file you need to update the rootdir location
  • @AgDude's suggestion is required, otherwise it won't work at all, stdout.write(e.toString() + '\n');

I only do ios build for now so can't verify for Android yet

I'm so sorry!
GitHub does not notify by about your comments.
I just edited this hook as you suggest (thank you!).
I also write something about re-use of this code (public domain: use it as you like!).

Just a note: I'm not using Ionic anymore so this code is unmantained.
Sorry again.
