Where are we with this release? Alexander Sorokin did some analysis on plugin build failures because of this ios-4.0-dev and there are quite a few.
This spreadsheet summarizes the build failures with the build log in a comment: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1sm8ioXY21z3RdyqT7J9n1Q_hmm9zgod5awToFF_X66U/edit?usp=sharing Quite a few of the failures are because of the removal of NsData+Base64.h https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios/blob/master/guides/API%20changes%20in%204.0.md#nsdatabase64h. What's the rationale behind removing this? Did we deprecate these methods before we removed them? I understand the changes for plugin developers are simple - but it does seem to require a number of plugins to be updated to ensure apps are not broken. It will be great to publish a blog post on cordova blog about these breaking changes. -Nikhil -----Original Message----- From: Carlos Santana [mailto:csantan...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 2, 2015 10:22 PM To: dev@cordova.apache.org Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] cordova-ios 4.0.0 release +1 Choo Choo ... I reviewed all links in your proposal and they look and don't have concerns IBM MobileFirst was affected only by the API change of using webviewengine now but that's so far the only major change In the kaban board for 4.0 there are some issues I consider nice to have that are not blockers to get a 4.0 out for iOS if we get closed to the ios9 launched date they can be deferred to a 4.0.1 On Tue, Sep 1, 2015 at 7:38 PM Shazron <shaz...@gmail.com> wrote: > Gotta get the train going again, it's been too long. > > The kanban board for this is at: > https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3a%2f%2fissue > s.apache.org%2fjira%2fsecure%2fRapidBoard.jspa%3frapidView%3d76&data=0 > 1%7c01%7cnikhilkh%40microsoft.com%7c457cbbc8d60c461beede08d2b41fb286%7 > c72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7c1&sdata=b11%2bCUSw4d5Q9SN%2b8roAWo > Ra2plB0lJXeCJb9RC2Sqw%3d > > Please help if you can by assigning an issue to yourself, and > selecting the "Start Progress" button.
