For platforms and plugins, installing from git isn't much of a problem, but nightly builds are more useful for testing the CLI tooling, because that relies on other dependencies like cordova-lib, cordova-fetch, and cordova-common, and you can't (easily) tell the CLI to use those dependencies from git.
If we get trusted publishing set up with npm, we should be able to still do nightly builds from GitHub Actions but our process for triggering them would have to be modified. If we want to turn on the new staged publishing though, I think that would prevent doing nightly builds because all of them would need manual approval. ~Darryl On Tue, Jun 23, 2026 at 3:23 AM Manuel Beck <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > Norman noticed on issue > https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/issues/1957#issuecomment-4772188115 > "that nightly is no longer published since NPM started cracking down on long > lived access tokens.“.
