    config.xml break my app

      Hello! I have a phonegap app where I need to be forced to look upright, and I did! But a few weeks ago, I started to malfunction and after many laps I discovered that removing the config.xml worked, my phonegap version is the last, the id is 2416744, and the content of config.xml:

       

      <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
      <widget xmlns      ="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
              xmlns:gap  ="http://phonegap.com/ns/1.0"
              id         ="com.XXX.XXX"
              version    ="0.0.1">
          <name>XXX</name>
       
       
              <description>App</description>
          <author email="XXX" href="XXX">

           <preference name="EnableViewportScale" value="true" />
          <icon src="res/android/icon.jpg" />
          <plugin name="underscore" source="npm" />
          <access origin="*" />
          <allow-intent href="http://*/*" />

          I assume that you are testing on Android, only (given your config).

           

          Here is some feedback on your config:

           

          1. <icon src="res/android/icon.jpg" />

          The default icon should be a .png file, be located in the root and be called 'icon.png'

          See Icons and Splash | PhoneGap Docs

           

          2. <plugin name="underscore" source="npm" />

          I am not quite sure whether or not this is a plugin at all. AFAIK, it's a javascript library called 'underscore.js'

           

          3. Whitelist rules

          Your whitelist rules will not be obeyed, since the whitelist plugin is missing.

           

          4. Splashes

          You have no splashscreen images and no splashscreen plugin. I recommend adding them.

              • That is not how you include the Whitelist or Splash Screen plugins. Use the <plugin> tag instead.
              • You've not included any access, allow-navigation, or allow-intent tags. See the white listing documentation: Whitelist - Apache Cordova
              • Be more specific about how your app "malfunctions" when config.xml is supplied.
                • Your code might be breaking due to a newer PGB CLI release. See https://build.phonegap.com/current-support
                • But without more information about how your app is broken, we're just guessing here, and will be of little help.
              • See Asking Better Questions (PhoneGap Forum) for information that is useful to us in helping you (such as devices you're testing on, platforms you're using [and versions], etc.)

                sorry! the error happens when i start the app, in the hydration screen says: "Whoops, looks like an error occured", this had happened to me before with javascript errors, but this time works great if i delete the config.xml, nothing works with my config.xml, new version and still not working:

                    If you make changes in your config.xml file for a hydrated app, you need to uninstall the app from your device and reinstall it. Hydration applies only to web content (JS, HTML, CSS), not to plugins, config.xml configuration settings, etc.

                        Try disabling hydration (rebuild, uninstall and reinstall) and see if your app works. If it does, then try reenabling hydration and see if the problem persists.

                                You need Hydration, even when changing your config?

                                Can't you ask your testers to install the latest test version of the app manually, only for those few times you change your config.xml?

                                  the app needs to change the information when it have some new... that i do with the hydration, to reload the html with the new things

                                    OK -- let me get this straight -- the app works without hydration now. If you re-enable hydration, it breaks with the error log you posted?

                                      It's possible there's an issue with hydration in this case. BUT, double check all your files and make sure they are in the expected encoding and that there aren't any spurious BOMs around. I don't know why I'm thinking about encodings here, but who knows.

                                       

                                      Also, hydration isn't the only option here. There are lots of similar utilities out there. I've heard lots of good things about Microsoft Code Push: https://microsoft.github.io/code-push/

                                              The best would be to edit the original question and remove the clients' names, which is where it says "XXX ..." and "XXX ...", but I think I can not do it, so I'd like to delete the whole post, Before I happen to be a problem in my work, by the way, the error of hydration is by a require 1.xy bug and replace it

                                                I've removed the identifying information. Let me know if I missed anything.
