Live Upload. UPDATE_METHOD none, not working

Appflow
1

Hello everyone,
I´m trying to change the way my app handles the Live update. My config.xml:

    <plugin name="cordova-plugin-ionic" spec="^2.0.4">
        <variable name="APP_ID" value="????????" />
        <variable name="CHANNEL_NAME" value="Master" />
        <variable name="UPDATE_METHOD" value="none" />
        <variable name="UPDATE_API" value="https://api.ionicjs.com" />
        <variable name="MAX_STORE" value="2" />
    </plugin>

I´m getting this prompt:

Capture _2018-01-22-11-06-34
Capture _2018-01-22-11-06-34.png720×1193 38.2 KB

Any Ideas?
Thanks for reading.

I have the same issue.

I also have an issue that it’s being hidden by the splash screen - so you can’t see it unless you put a breakpoint in the code and stop the app, then it pops up. V strange

I sloved it by reinstalling the Cordova Plugin with the new Update Method. Check in config.xml and package.json if the value at Update Method has changed!

If that doesnt work I also faced the issue that sometimes if you use --prod mode it works with new Update Method and on normal Debug Mode it gives you this Alert. So you could try to test it on a --prod build. :slight_smile:

I´m facing the same issue @gibbtek. Now the splash screen hide is not working.

@Holistor I had a similar issue, also with a white screen after the splash. I got around this by messing around with the splash settings in config.xml

<preference name="SplashScreen" value="screen" />
<preference name="SplashShowOnlyFirstTime" value="false" />
<preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="10000" />
<preference name="FadeSplashScreenDuration" value="300" />
<preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="false" />

My idea was to set the delay to longer than is needed and don’t autohide it. This allowed the app to start, show the splash, and the platform ready handler to close it when appropriate.

My issue atm is that sometimes it looks like it’s stuck - but what’s happening is it’s checking/downloading updates. Which I don’t want to happen.

Anyway try those settings and see if they work out for you

It is an annoying message…

If you build your app with a production certificate that message goes away. You can still do everything else, i.e. debug remotely / update=none being adhered to if that’s your desire.

Yes, I have the same issue. Sometimes the app stucks while is downloading.
