-------------------------------------
Summary: APK Not Copied to Visual Studio bin Directory
Key: CB-13932
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13932
Project: Apache Cordova
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: cordova-android
Affects Versions: cordova-android-7.0.0
Environment: cordova@8.0
cordova-android@7.1.0
Visual Studio 2017
Windows 10
Reporter: Terence Bandoian
Assignee: Joe Bowser
With Visual Studio 2017 configured to use the globally installed Cordova CLI
(8.0) instead of the version packaged with Visual Studio, debug APKs generated
with cordova-android@7.1.0 are not copied to the project bin directory.
Debug APKs are written to:
{code:java}
platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
{code}
Visual Studio apparently expects APKs to be written to:
{code:java}
bin/Android/Debug/android-debug.apk{code}
This prevents initiatiation of a debug session on a device from within Visual
Studio.
A simple after_build script such as the following:
{code:java}
module.exports = function (ctx) {
if (ctx.opts.platforms.indexOf('android') < 0) {
return;
}
var fs = ctx.requireCordovaModule('fs'),
path = ctx.requireCordovaModule('path');
var src = path.join(
ctx.opts.projectRoot,
'platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk');
var dst = path.join(
ctx.opts.projectRoot,
'bin/Android/Debug/android-debug.apk');
fs.copyFileSync(src, dst);
return 0;
};
{code}
is an effective work-around but the development experience would be improved if
it wasn't necessary to expend the extra effort to determine the cause and
implement a solution.
The most recent version of cordova-android that I know of where this is not
necessary is 6.3.0. I haven't tested 6.4.0 or 7.0.0.
