Whenever you use the Remote Agent to build your iOS app from Visual Studio for Windows , newer and more critical errors than the basic ones will be triggered. You may get errors related to either Xcode, Cordova CLI and cordova-ios, and why not , bonus errors introduced by plugins and their dependencies. Most plugins such as Firebase ones will rely on newer Cordova CLI and platform versions to work properly. Most of these errors are related to incompatibilities between the older Cordova versions with newer Xcode ones, including but not limited to the Certificates and Provisioning Profiles handling, that Apple persists in changing between Xcode releases.
Not everything is lost. In another article , we discuss how you can use Wijmo with NPM and Webpack to create applications targeting the most popular JavaScript application frameworks. In this article we've compiled a list of helpful guides for getting started with Cordova Ionic. Try Wijmo's JavaScript controls. Today, we'll be using the NodeJS package ecosystem called npm. This helps us get all the necessary libraries and frameworks onto our local development machine. At the time of this writing, npm is the largest ecosystem of open source libraries in the world.
Of course, Wijmo isn't open source, but we'll need npm to install the necessary files. After we've installed NodeJS, we want to configure our path or verify that the Path is set up the correct way. I broke mine the first time, so I'll show you how to fix it if you mess it up. If everything is set up correctly, you should see the version number displayed on the command line. If this is the case, you can skip down to the Ionic Cordova installation.
Install Cordova. Cordova is installed using the Node Package Manager npm. Type the following in the command window to install: npm install -g cordova.
Test the Cordova install by typing: cordova --version If you see the version number, you have successfully installed Apache Cordova! To check if you have the JDK installed already, type this on the command line:. Click the Java SE Download to see the list of downloads. Get the "Windows x86" download if you have bit Windows, and "Windows x64" if you have bit Windows.
If you do not know which version you have, find out using the Control Panel by selecting "System and Security" and then "System", where you will find the "System type" saying if your Windows version is bit or bit. Go along and run the downloaded installer file. Using the default selections should be fine, but take a note of the directory in which you install the JDK. You will need to add this to the PATH in a later step below. Next, update your path to include the JDK.
Select the Advanced tab, then click the Environment Variables button. At the end of the field Variable value , add a semicolon followed by the path to the bin directory of the JDK install. You can test many of the Cordova features using the iOS simulator installed with the iOS SDK and Xcode, but you need an actual device to fully test all of the app's device features before submitting to the App Store.
The device must have at least iOS 11 installed, the minimum iOS version supported since the release of cordova-ios v6. Once Xcode is installed, several command-line tools need to be enabled for Cordova to run. From the command line, run:. The CocoaPods tools is needed to build iOS apps.
A minimum version of 1. Installing Xcode will mostly set everything needed to get started with the native side of things. You should now be able to create and build a cordova project. For more details on installing and using the CLI, refer to Create your first app guide. Select the intended device from the toolbar's Scheme menu, such as the iPhone XR Simulator as highlighted in 2.
Press the Run button 3 in the same toolbar to the left of the Scheme. That builds, deploys, and runs the application in the simulator. A separate simulator application opens to display the app:. Only one simulator may run at a time, so if you want to test the app in a different simulator, you need to quit the simulator application and run a different target within Xcode.
