AppVersion Plugin not working.

[Sairaj]

Hi,

 In my application I am trying to get current application version. For this I am using telerik verified AppVersion plugin from this link http://plugins.telerik.com/cordova/plugin/appversion . I am using the following code : 

 

 document.addEventListener('deviceready', function () { 

 cordova.getAppVersion.getVersionNumber(function(value) { alert(value) });

}, false);​

 

But when the device ready is getting fired I am having an error "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'getVersionNumber' of undefined" . 

 

Can Any body please help me with this. It's really urgent.

 

Thanks

Sairaj

Hello Sairaj,

I am sorry to hear you catch such an error.

I tested installing the AppVersion demo app (through the red Load in AppBuilder button) after modifying it with the additional line of code you shared: 

document.addEventListener('deviceready', function () {
 cordova.getAppVersion.getVersionNumber(function(value) { alert(value) });
...

Running it on an Android 5.0 and iOS 8.3 devices, the alert was displayed fine on starting it. 

Would you please share some more information on:
- Which mobile OS do you have?
- Do you observe the same error modifying the AppVersion demo app to also display an alert when the device is ready?
- Any other specific information you consider as relevant.

Please note that custom plugins don't work in the simulator and the AppBuilder companion app, so you should have installed it.

Looking forward to hearing form you.

Hi, I have the same issue.

Does it not work in browser?

Thanks

Hello Zaida,

The Verified plugins cannot be tested in the AppBuilder simulator, including the AppVersion plugin. To test verified and custom plugins, you need to deploy your app directly on a device. You can see a list of all limitations of the simulator here: Limitations of the Device Simulator.
