Problems with Ionic 4 and Braintree on iOS - App Crashes

Ionic Framework Ionic Angular
1

hello!

I really need your help :frowning:
I’m doing an app with Ionic 4 and cordova-plugin-braintree version 0.5.1 (i tried the other forks but i can’t compile).

With Android everything works fine.

With iOs i’m having trouble making it work:

I can access the paypal account, choose the card and the payment method but when i choose to pay the app crashes and i get this error:

Hi, We had issue that PayPal plugin didn’t worked on iOS and we discovered that it was because of using Capacitor. When we used Ionic with Cordova it works perfectly

3

hello! i’m using cordova-ios 5.1.1 and cordova-plugin-braintree (the last version available).
The old version of Braintree worked like a charm but it has the deprecated api bug, so i need to update to the latest version. I can’t make it work

4

Hi! How do you build your app? (Using Cordova or Capacitor).
Maybe when you will try to build it with different runtime I hope it could help you

5

cordova, it works fine and build the app fine: the problem is when i launch the app and try to pay with paypal., Everything works untill I access the paypal account amd choose the card and the payment method. After that, the app crashes and i get the error *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception ‘NSInvalidArgumentException’, reason: ‘*** -[__NSPlaceholderDictionary initWithObjects:forKeys:count:]: attempt to insert nil object from objects[3]’

6

Oh, understand now,
sorry I can’t here,
our issue was that because of Capacitor on iOS PayPal popup didn’t work properly

7

thank you anyway! I appreciate it :slight_smile:

I created a new one, please read this to get known how to test it and support me in developing:
