its not working in Phonegap Build

[jcesarmobile]

This just removes the usage description variables from the plugin.xml, so not sure how this "is not working in Phonegap build".

Anyway, this is not the place to report your Phonegap build problems

[kleeb]

thats true, but there is no way to add those params to the plist file with the latest update of PGB
which more or less makes the cordova-plugin-camera version stuck at 2.4.1...

unless using cordova-plugin-ios-camera-permissions

[jcesarmobile]

Yes, there is a way, you have to use edit-config tag as documented in the README.md

[kleeb]

edit-config doesn't work in the Phonegap Build version cli-7.1.0

[kleeb]

just stating that thousands of PGB users will soon have problem building native iOS when they update this plugin

however this may have a good impact, as they may think of switching to PWA ;-)

[jcesarmobile]

edit-config used to work in PGB. If it's now broken in cli-7.1.0 report it to Adobe, this plugin is from Apache.

[jcesarmobile]

@kleeb FYI, I've created a sample app and built it in PGB setting the cli-7.1.0 and the texts were set correctly. You can try it yourself https://github.com/jcesarmobile/cordova-plugin-camera-sample.

First time I built it without version and was built with 6.5.0 and didn't include the texts but then I changed the CLI version, built it again and worked fine.

[kleeb]

Thanks @jcesarmobile
For this repo it works like charm

For my project it doesn't, some other plugin must be removing them.

[kleeb]

Ok, we are using the old builder, and then it is not working

<preference name='pgb-builder-version' value='1' />

[jcesarmobile]

If you want to use the old builder then you will need to use older versions of the plugins.
Anyway, if you have doubts or problems with Phonegap Build you should go to their forums https://forums.adobe.com/community/phonegap/build

[kleeb]

I don't agree with that. This is just the different way how PGB is building the native package.
I don't see any connection with the plugin versions.

[jcesarmobile]

To use latest version of the plugins you need to use edit-config tag, period.

If Phonegap Build old builder doesn't allow to use edit-config tag you have a few options:

1. Use the new builder.
2. Use an older version of the plugin where edit-config tag is not need.
3. Use another plugin that writes the usage descriptions.

Anyway, I have told you a few times that this plugins belongs to Apache and Phonegap Build belongs to Adobe, they have to adapt to our changes, not the other way around. And in this case they already provide a way, so it's you who has to switch to that or find a workaround.
