Install the dependencies:
npm install
Navigate to cordova folder:
cd cordova/
Install cordova dependencies:
npm install
Create the Android platform:
npm run install:android
Create the development build:
npm run dev:android
Follow the steps in Cordova Android - Installing the Requirements to setup your development environment.
In Android Studio choose "Import project" and select the cordova/platforms/android folder.
You should now be able to run the app on device or emulator.
Create the iOS platform:
npm run install:ios
Create the development build:
npm run dev:ios
Troubleshooting: In case you see the infamous error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance, you need to run:
sudo xcode-select -switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer
Follow the steps in Cordova iOS - Installing the Requirements to setup your development environment.
Open the Project folder in Xcode:
open ./platforms/ios/Solar.xcworkspace/
You can now select a device from the dropdown in the upper-left corner and run the application.
Follow the setup of the development builds but instead of npm run dev:android/ios use:
npm run build:android
npm run build:ios
Make sure that you have access to the required .keystore file.
Create a signing.env file inside of the cordova/ directory. Insert the path to the keystore file and the alias of the signing key.
KEYSTORE_LOCATION=/location/of/my.keystore
SIGNINGKEY_ALIAS=AliasOfMyKey
Run the following npm script to start the build process of the signed apk.
npm run build:android:signed
Enter the passwords for keystore and key when prompted. The location of the generated .apk file will appear in the output log once the build process succeeds.
If the build fails, try pruning and re-installing all platform-specific code first.
cd cordova/
rm -rf plugins/
npm run remove:android && npm run remove:ios
npm run install:ios # or `install:android`Now try building the app again.
You can hack your way around a local Xcode version that does not support your attached iPhone's OS version. Patch your Xcode using the device support files from here:
