If you plan to develop with TypeScript and don't use `@ionic-native/x` they are very convenient for the development, but of course only when the are kept updated. > What is the simplest way to keep them up to date? The "de facto" standard for typings removed the cordova ones, because some cordova-plugins provide them directly. (see https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/pull/22305) The main goal should be: consistency. Either remove all typings from the cordova-plugins (repo) and maintain them via DefinitelyTyped (and the npm `@types/`) packages or provide them via the cordova-plugin itself. Both approaches are fine. Sometimes the plugin/project authors don't want or use TypeScript and don't provide the typings - in this case the community can add them via DefinitelyTyped. If you go for the second approach, you need of course someone in the Apache/Cordova org to maintain them :)
