brodybits opened a new issue #185: Deprecated plugins URL: https://github.com/apache/cordova/issues/185 A decision was made in [Apache JIRA CB-12708 ([1])](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12708), back in 2017. At this point we would like to deprecate the following plugins and archive them on GitHub: - [ ] [apache/cordova-plugin-contacts](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-contacts) - [ ] [apache/cordova-plugin-device-motion](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-device-motion) - [ ] [apache/cordova-plugin-device-orientation](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-device-orientation) - [ ] [apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file-transfer) - [ ] [apache/cordova-plugin-globalization](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-globalization) - [ ] [apache/cordova-plugin-media](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-media) Plugins that can be integrated into the affected platforms and archived: - [ ] [apache/cordova-plugin-splashscreen](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-splashscreen) - [ ] [apache/cordova-plugin-whitelist](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-whitelist) Further discussion is needed on these plugins: - [ ] [apache/cordova-plugin-camera](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera) - should be replaced by use of standard HTML media capture or getUserMedia() call; need to check for proper support on all platforms - [ ] [apache/cordova-plugin-file](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file) - see [Apache JIRA CB-12715](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12715) & [Apache JIRA CB-13044](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13044) - [ ] [apache/cordova-plugin-media-capture](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-media-capture) - ideally superseded by web APIs - some other ideas in [Apache JIRA CB-13049](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13049), could be superseded by [phonegap/phonegap-plugin-media-stream](https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-media-stream) - [ ] [apache/cordova-plugin-statusbar](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-statusbar) - possibly integrate, possibly get `viewport-fit` and `theme-color` values from HTML meta tag such as `<meta name="theme-color">` ref: - https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/semantics.html#meta-theme-color - https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12717 In case we decide to sunset any other plugins within this issue, let's please add them to the appropriate checklist. Process to follow is documented in [[2]](https://github.com/apache/cordova-contribute/blob/master/deprecation.md). I think it is extremely important that we archive all deprecated plugins in order to avoid the burden of issues and PRs that could come up on GitHub, as I had already said in issue #60. Additional & related TODO item(s): - deprecation process ([[2]](https://github.com/apache/cordova-contribute/blob/master/deprecation.md)) does not seem to be published on cordova.apache.org (<https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/issues/1046>) - check if any other plugins could (eventually) be deprecated and archiving, as superseded by Web APIs known to be working properly on all platforms - ensure and double-check that we keep the list of deprecated and archived plugins in README.md in sync with the plugins that are actually deprecated and archive - check if any plugins should be removed from the cordova-mobile-spec (see also issue #37 - improve plugin tests) - review issues directly and indirectly linked from [[1] (JIRA CB-12708)](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12708) - close out issues linked directly and indirectly from [[1] (JIRA CB-12708)](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12708) with comments as appropriate - close out [[1] (JIRA CB-12708)](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12708) with comments as appropriate [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-12708 [2] https://github.com/apache/cordova-contribute/blob/master/deprecation.md
