Verified AppVersion Plugin Exception after AppBuilder 3.2 Upgrade

[Brandon Peterson]

After the upgrade, the AppVersion Plugin (0.1.7; installed from verified plugin marketplace) started throwing the following exception:

cordova.getAppVersion.getVersionNumber is not a function

My code:

if (cordova.getAppVersion) {
     try {
          cordova.getAppVersion.getVersionNumber(function (v) {
               if (!v) {
                    version = defaultValue;
                    $log.error('No app version returned.');
               }
               else {
                    version = v;
               }
          });

     } catch (e) {
          version = defaultValue;
          $log.error('Error retreiving version.', e.message);
     }
}
else {
     version = defaultValue;
     $log.warn('No app version plugin.');
}

(For clarity, referring to this plugin)

Appears to be an issue in the simulator (and pretty sure on iOS - still testing).

Can anyone else confirm?

Hi Brandon,

I loaded the AppVersion demo app in Telerik Platform to test how the plugin can be used in the simulator, the companion app and also installing the built .ipa file on a iPhone with iOS 9.1. 
Below you can find my observations:
1. This plugin is actually not supported in the simulator. There are some limitations you should keep in mind when working with custom plugins in the simulator or the companion app, for example most verified/custom plugins are actually not supported there. All details on the supported plugins are listed in the articles on:
Limitations of the Device Simulator.
2. It worked fine in the Companion app and not error was raised.
3. It worked fine when run on the device and not error was raised.

Would you please confirm if you get the error on the same demo? If so, then would you please share details on the exact setup you have so that I can verify the same on my end?

Regards,
