Error Building

[Ste]

Hi,

I have been trying to update my app to Cordova 4.0.0, but once I tried to build I got several errors, in particular this one which I can not understand what happened and how to fix it:

Project "PirateRoaming.tmp.proj" (default targets):
Warning: Cannot include the following item(s) in your application: .DS_Store;Plugins\AppsFlyer-v.3.3.0\.gitignore;Plugins\cordova-plugin-contacts-master\.gitignore;Plugins\cordova-plugin-geolocation-master\.gitignore;Plugins\cordova-plugin-geolocation-master\.travis.yml;Plugins\cordova-plugin-statusbar-master\.travis.yml;Plugins\Cordova-sqlite-storage-master-rc\.gitignore;Plugins\Cordova-sqlite-storage-master-rc\.travis.yml;Plugins\Cordova-sqlite-storage-master-rc\spec\.cordova\config.json;Plugins\Cordova-sqlite-storage-master-rc\spec\platforms\.gitignore;Plugins\Cordova-sqlite-storage-master-rc\spec\plugins\.gitignore;Plugins\Cordova-sqlite-storage-master-rc\src\external\.gitignore;Plugins\ionic-plugins-keyboard-master\.gitignore;Plugins\ionic-plugins-keyboard-master\src\blackberry10\native\.cproject;Plugins\ionic-plugins-keyboard-master\src\blackberry10\native\.project;Plugins\Phonegap-SMS-master\.gitignore. The build system treats items with a leading dot as hidden files or directories and does not process them. If you want to include these items in your application package, rename them and rebuild your app.

Hello Ste,

Thank you for contacting us.

Based on the output that you've sent, it looks like there are some issues with your images: drawable-hdpi-v4/common_full_open_on_phone.png - it is duplicated, which causes Android's aapt to fail during execution. Can you check if you have more than one files with this name ?

Also I've noticed that you are trying to migrate your project to Cordova 4.0.0. I'll try to explain most common errors that can raise during migration from Cordova 3.7.0 to newer version.

Please note that there's a huge difference between Cordova 4.0.0 and Cordova 3.7.0 and it's the names of the plugins. AppBuilder will set correct names of the plugins you've selected, but in case you have some custom plugins (based on your logs I believe you have such plugins), you have to update them to their latest versions. In case this is not possible, you can manually update the plugin.xml files of the custom plugins (inside Plugins directory) to use correct dependencies (in case they have such). For example the following line:

<dependency id="org.apache.cordova.dialogs"/>

should be changed to: 

<dependency id="cordova-plugin-dialogs"/>

Here's a short list of the new plugin names:

{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.battery-status", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-battery-status" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.camera", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-camera" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.console", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-console" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.contacts", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-contacts" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.device", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-device" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.device-motion", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-device-motion" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.device-orientation", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-device-orientation" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.dialogs", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-dialogs" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.file", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-file" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.file-transfer", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-file-transfer" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.geolocation", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-geolocation" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.globalization", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-globalization" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.inappbrowser", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-inappbrowser" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.media", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-media" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.media-capture", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-media-capture" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.network-information", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-network-information" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.splashscreen", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-splashscreen" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.statusbar", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-statusbar" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.vibration", "newName":  "cordova-plugin-vibration" },
{ "oldName": "org.apache.cordova.keyboard", "newName":  "org.apache.cordova.labs.keyboard" }

Also, for Cordova 4.0.0 we have updated the minimum required sdk version to 14, so in case you have edited your AndroidManifest.xml (in App_Resources/Android/AndroidManifest.xml), make sure to set:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="21"/>

Hope this will help you to migrate your project. Feel free to contact us in case you have any problems or concerns.

Rosen, thanks for your reply.

I do have multiple files with that same name inside the /Applications/MobileDevelopment/android-sdk-macosx/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib/res/ path, but each inside a different drawable folder (like drawable-hdpi, drawable-xdpi, drawable-xxhdpi, etc.), isn't that normal for android?

However, since I am encountering so much errors/problems with this update I decided it is probably worth it to try to update directly to Cordova 5.0.0. Are there any additional or different common errors for that?

I posted (sorry I messed things up a little because it is not possible to edit posted posts) a couple more errors I encountered here and here. Could you please help me on those too (particularly on the second as I can not relate it to any particular plugin).

Thanks again.

Hello Ste,

It's normal for Android projects to have image with same name in a different drawable directory. Based on the error I've assumed it's been duplicated somewhere.

Anyway, I've already answered your other two questions in the other forum posts and I've noticed you've sent your project in another thread. I'll check it on my side and I'll continue the conversation there.

Hope this helps.
