Ionic + PhoneGap Build

ionic-v1
1

Has anyone used PhoneGap Build to build their Ionic application?
This is perfectly possible, unless I use some plugins, like the camera. PhoneGap Build doesn’t recognize the plugins and I have no idea how to fix it.

Does anyone has the same problem? Could you fix it? Or experience with PGB + Ionic?

Hello,

I use PhoneGap Build for my apps and i have no issue with it.
Could you share you config.xml?
Is your plugin displayed in the “plugin” tabs on the phonegap build website?

Thanks for your reply. This is my config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<widget id="com.ionicframework.xxx"
    version="0.0.1"
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
    xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0"
    xmlns:gap="http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0">

<gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.camera" source="plugins.cordova.io"/>

</widget>

The plugin is recognized by PGB in the plugin tab.

I’ve followed this: http://learn.ionicframework.com/formulas/cordova-camera/ to implement the camera function. When I build the application locally or test it via IonicView the camera function is working perfectly, but when I build it via PGB it’s not working.

EDIT: I have also copied this config.xml in my www/ folder.

Try to follow the official doc with version=“0.3.2” : https://build.phonegap.com/plugins/1173

Did you include the js camera script in your index.html? (if it’s case, the script will be in conflict with the script injected by phonegap build)

Yes, I also tried to use:

<gap:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.camera" version="0.3.2" />

But also no results. I also have no js camera script included in my index.html.
Yesterday I’ve made a Stackoverflow thread about this too, with a little bit more information: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29800585/plugins-with-ionic-phonegap-build-doesnt-work

No useful answers there.

I didn’t see at the the first read but <feature name="http://api.phonegap.com/1.0/camera"/> is missing in your config file?

Full example here : http://docs.build.phonegap.com/en_US/2.9.0/configuring_features.md.html#Features

Well I tried different combinations as stated in the stackoverflow thread, but I can’t seem to get it working. Do you also use the camera plugin? (I also use the network-information plugin, but same story)

No, I have used geoloc and device plugins without any issue.
I will send you my config file by PM

Thanks, that would be nice!
