-------------------------------
Summary: Difficult to add DeviceCapability for plugin so that it
works for Win 10 and also 8.1
Key: CB-10663
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10663
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: CordovaCommon
Reporter: Tim Barham
Assignee: Tim Barham
(windows platform)
When defining device capabilities for a plugin on the Windows platform, the
{{m2}} namespace is required when targeting Windows 8.1:
{noformat}
<config-file target="package.appxmanifest" parent="/Package/Capabilities">
<m2:DeviceCapability Name="bluetooth.genericAttributeProfile" />
</config-file>
{noformat}
However, that namespace isn't valid for the Windows 10 Universal project's
{{appxmanifest}} file, where no namespace should be specified for these
elements.
It is possible to work around this by using the new {{versions}} attribute
added in Cordova 5.0.0:
{noformat}
<config-file target="package.appxmanifest" parent="/Package/Capabilities"
versions="<10.0.0">
<m2:DeviceCapability Name="bluetooth.genericAttributeProfile" />
</config-file>
<config-file target="package.appxmanifest" parent="/Package/Capabilities"
versions=">=10.0.0">
<DeviceCapability Name="bluetooth.genericAttributeProfile" />
</config-file>
{noformat}
However, that becomes very messy and error-prone when there are lots of entries
(and will also completely break the build on Cordova versions prior to 5.0.0).
It would be nice if we could somehow handle this automatically (for example,
check for the {{m2}} namespace when adding elements to the Windows 10
{{appxmanifest}} and remove it).
