--------------------------------------
Summary: Location permission lost for Windows Phone 8.1
Key: CB-10845
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-10845
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Plugin Geolocation, Windows
Environment: Windows Phone 8.1
Reporter: Steffen Schaffert
After updating to the latest Cordova versions (cordova-cli 6.0.0,
cordova-windows 4.3.1, cordova-plugin-geolocation 2.1.0), the location
capability is missing from the appxmanifest file.
In the platforms/windows folder, the file "package.windows.appxmanifest"
contains the following region:
<Capabilities>
<Capability Name="internetClient" />
<DeviceCapability Name="location" />
</Capabilities>
The file "package.phone.appxmanifest", which seems to be relevant when building
for the ARM platform, is missing the location entry:
<Capabilities>
<Capability Name="internetClientServer" />
</Capabilities>
I don't know whether this is a bug in the geolocation plugin (which should add
the permission) or in the windows platform. I was able to fix the problem for
me by extending the plugin.xml of the geolocation plugin and adding:
<config-file target="package.phone.appxmanifest" parent="/Package/Capabilities">
<DeviceCapability Name="location" />
</config-file>
This seems to be a bug because the existing extra with
target="package.appxmanifest" works for the file package.windows.appxmanifest
but not for package.phone.appxmanifest.
