SMS plugin_not_installed issue

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

I have installed cordova-plugin-sms and it’s giving me plugin_not_installed issue while running app in android device

2

Did you install
@ionic-native/sms
as well?

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-sms-plugin
npm install --save @ionic-native/sms

see here for details

3

yes i have installed @ionic/sms
but while installing cordova-sms-plugin it gives error
so i have installed cordova-pluing-sms

4

I followed the instructions and installed both packages.
But I hit the same problem on iPhone.
with @ionic-native/sms 4.0.1, cordova-sms-plugin 0.1.11

5

Do you get any other messages? I used it successfully in my code with the following setup:
package.json ==>

"cordova-sms-plugin": "^0.1.11", "@ionic-native/sms": "^3.8.0",

The code itself:

sendSms() {
let options = {
replaceLineBreaks: true, // true to replace \n by a new line, false by default
android: {
intent: ‘INTENT’ // send SMS with the native android SMS messaging
//intent: ‘’ // send SMS without open any other app
}
};
let textToSend = “this is just a test”;
this.sms.send(‘123123123’, textToSend, options).then(whatever => {
this.resetStatusBar();
}).catch(() => {
this.resetStatusBar();
})

the import:
import {SMS} from “@ionic-native/sms”;

Hope it helps!

Ah btw. did you add it to your provides in app.module.ts?
Like this:

@NgModule({
providers: [
/** … /
SMS
/ … **/
{provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: IonicErrorHandler}
]
})

I have added in providers
I do not get other messages because I can get from the catch only.

What errors are you getting?
Why do you think just installing a different plugin might work?
Also “cordova-pluing-sms” seems not like a valid plugin name.

8

I think I have found the problem.
Because I am using ionic view and sms plugin is not supported in ionic view
