Not compatible with cordova-android 7.0.0

Hi,

When trying to install :

Failed to install 'ionic-plugin-keyboard': Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '/Users/theo/Projects/mobile/platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml'
    at Object.fs.openSync (fs.js:651:18)

Here is the explanation : https://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2017/12/04/cordova-android-7.0.0.html

I'm not sure how to solve it though.

Did you solve this?

I solved this by removing one of the plugins "cordova-sqlite-storage"

[garygriswold]

I have figured out the problem. It is not a bug in the ionic-plugin-keyboard. I have submitted a bug on Cordova 7.1.0.

        Summary: AndroidStudio.js incorrectly decides project is Eclipse project
            Key: CB-13716
            URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13716

The problem occurs when you add a plugin that was created with Eclipse and then after that add a plugin created with Android Studio. I think it will work to simply add all Eclipse generated plugins last.

Same issue here. I'm trying to rollback cordova android.

Okay, I can confirm going back to 6.3.0 fixes this. Looks like ionic plugins are not updated to look for the AndroidManifest.xml in the new path due to cordova-android@7.0.0

@dwieeb can you have a look on this?
thx

The problem seems, after installing cordova-sqlite-plugin using cordova-android 7.0.0 you can not install any other plugin anymore. You can see the bug here

brody2consult/cordova-sqlite-storage#729

So don't use cordova 7.0.0 until this problem is resolved

[ph98]

i'm using cordova 8.0.0 and still have this problem :)

[bertcarremans]

Same for me too on cordova 8.0.0

[lucasbasquerotto]

I uninstalled the cordova-sqlite-plugin plugin and installed it in the latest version (currently 2.2.0). That fixed this problem for me:

ionic cordova plugin remove cordova-sqlite-plugin
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-sqlite-plugin@2.2.0

---

Update

The correct instructions are:

ionic cordova plugin remove cordova-sqlite-storage
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-sqlite-storage@2.2.0

---

From their changelogs:

Android-sqlite-native-driver NDK objects in JAR to resolve issue on cordova-android@7

@ph98 @bertcarremans I think they are talking about the cordova-android version (that seems the cause of this issue), not the cordova version.

[bertcarremans]

@lucasbasquerotto : ok, my cordova-android version is indeed 7.0.0. But when I try to re-install the cordova-sqlite-plugin as you mentioned above, I get the following error

(node:873) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: CordovaError: Failed to fetch plugin cordova-sqlite-plugin@2.2.0 via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.
Error: npm: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:

[lucasbasquerotto]

@bertcarremans I think I wrote the plugin name incorrectly. Try:

ionic cordova plugin remove cordova-sqlite-storage
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-sqlite-storage@2.2.0

I've tried this sqlite solution, but i'm still getting the error when i try to install the keyboard plugin, anyone had any success?
