I have done some further investigation as to why our project fails performing the `cordova prepare` command when using `[email protected]`. In a new directory, just for testing, I executed the following steps: 1. `cordova create TestApp` 2. `cd TestApp` 3. `cordova platform add android@latest` A new file is generated by the `[email protected]` plugin, namely `platforms\android\app\src\main\res\values\colors.xml` with the contents (originating from `node_modules\cordova-android\templates\project\res\values\colors.xml`): ``` <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools";> <color name="cdv_splashscreen_background">#FFFFFF</color> </resources> ``` When looking at our `config.xml` file, there is a block of lines for the (adaptive) icons: ``` <!-- Android adaptive icons with fallback --> <resource-file src="icons/android/adaptive/bgcolor.xml" target="/app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml"/> <!-- Background color - not image --> <!-- Adaptive icons are 108 dp (display pixels) with a "border" of 18 on each side (= 36 reserved by the system), for image size 2048 dp, it gives a bleed of 341.333333333 dp --> <icon src="icons/android/36.png" density="ldpi" foreground="icons/android/adaptive/f48.png" background="@color/background" /> <!-- 36 - 12 (2x 6) - 48 --> <icon src="icons/android/48.png" density="mdpi" foreground="icons/android/adaptive/f64.png" background="@color/background" /> <!-- 48 - 16 (2x 8) - 64 --> <icon src="icons/android/72.png" density="hdpi" foreground="icons/android/adaptive/f96.png" background="@color/background" /> <!-- 72 - 24 (2x12) - 96 --> <icon src="icons/android/96.png" density="xhdpi" foreground="icons/android/adaptive/f128.png" background="@color/background" /> <!-- 96 - 32 (2x16) - 128 --> <icon src="icons/android/144.png" density="xxhdpi" foreground="icons/android/adaptive/f192.png" background="@color/background" /> <!-- 144 - 48 (2x24) - 192 --> <icon src="icons/android/192.png" density="xxxhdpi" foreground="icons/android/adaptive/f256.png" background="@color/background" /> <!-- 192 - 64 (2x32) - 256 --> ``` *When removing the line `<resource-file src="icons/android/adaptive/bgcolor.xml" target="/app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml"/>`, the `cordova prepare` command worked just fine, and the project could then begin to build and the problem was solved.* An interesting thing is however happening when the Android platform is added with our config.xml file, perhaps because we use the plugin `[email protected]` with its `plugins\cordova-plugin-firebasex\src\android\src\android\colors.xml`: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources> </resources> ``` and the fact that we have some specifications for the splash screen that is now deprecated: ``` <!-- Splash screen --> <preference name="SplashScreen" value="none" /> <preference name="AutoHideSplashScreen" value="false" /> <preference name="ShowSplashScreenSpinner" value="false" /> <preference name="FadeSplashScreen" value="false" /> <preference name="FadeSplashScreenDuration" value="0" /> <!-- 350 --> <preference name="SplashScreenDelay" value="0" /> <!-- 3000 --> <preference name="SplashMaintainAspectRatio" value="true" /> <preference name="SplashShowOnlyFirstTime" value="true" /> <!-- false --> <preference name="SplashScreenBackgroundColor" value="#000000" /> <!-- Black background --> ``` leaves us with the mystery below. Once our Android platform is generated from an existing `config.xml` file (specified in the first entry in this issue) using `cordova platform add android@latest`, the file `platforms\android\app\src\main\res\values\colors.xml` is generated: ``` <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools";> <color name="cdv_splashscreen_background">#FFFFFF</color> <color name="accent">#FF00FFFF</color> </resources> ``` For some reason, the XML schema specification `xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"` is added to the `resources` tag along with the `accent` color as `<color name="accent">#FF00FFFF</color>`. We have NO CLUE as to from where the `accent` color definition comes from. **So PLEASE: can Cordova provide better documentation for the Android platform as to regarding the specifics to define the `<color name="cdv_splashscreen_background">#FFFFFF</color>` using some "preference" setting or what not.** Then **how does one add just a new color definition**, in our case the background color for our adaptive icons as the current Cordova documentation example suggests to do, i.e. to specify the icons as we did with a background color: ``` <!-- Android adaptive icons with fallback --> <resource-file src="icons/android/adaptive/bgcolor.xml" target="/app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml"/> <!-- Background color for adaptive icons - not using images --> <!-- Adaptive icons are 108 dp (display pixels) with a "border" of 18 on each side (= 36 reserved by the system), for image size 2048 dp, it gives a bleed of 341.333333333 dp --> <icon src="icons/android/36.png" density="ldpi" foreground="icons/android/adaptive/f48.png" background="@color/background" /> <!-- 36 - 12 (2x 6) - 48 --> <icon src="icons/android/48.png" density="mdpi" foreground="icons/android/adaptive/f64.png" background="@color/background" /> <!-- 48 - 16 (2x 8) - 64 --> <icon src="icons/android/72.png" density="hdpi" foreground="icons/android/adaptive/f96.png" background="@color/background" /> <!-- 72 - 24 (2x12) - 96 --> <icon src="icons/android/96.png" density="xhdpi" foreground="icons/android/adaptive/f128.png" background="@color/background" /> <!-- 96 - 32 (2x16) - 128 --> <icon src="icons/android/144.png" density="xxhdpi" foreground="icons/android/adaptive/f192.png" background="@color/background" /> <!-- 144 - 48 (2x24) - 192 --> <icon src="icons/android/192.png" density="xxxhdpi" foreground="icons/android/adaptive/f256.png" background="@color/background" /> <!-- 192 - 64 (2x32) - 256 --> ``` *In our case, this issue was resolved by either omitting the line `<resource-file src="icons/android/adaptive/bgcolor.xml" target="/app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml"/>`. Then again, in order to get our background colors, the accent color and the cdv_splashscreen_background, we changed our `icons/android/adaptive/bgcolor.xml` file instead of omitting the line that overwrites `colors.xml` to contain:* ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools";> <color name="cdv_splashscreen_background">#FFFFFF</color> <color name="accent">#FF00FFFF</color> <color name="background">#664c88</color> </resources> ``` **_After this, the issue was resolved, but we still do not understand how to define these two colors (and perhaps other things), specific to Cordova Android 11+, such as the colors `accent`and `cdv_splashscreen_background`._** -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
