Android SDK31 / Android12

Sorry, but no.. That does not seem like a good approach at all. First Cordova should release their yearly new Cordova-Android version, then you should update to the new Cordova-Android and raise the target SDK.

Cordova-Android 11 is not released yet. I think you should wait and raise the target SDK after cordova officially supports it.

Not even all of your own official plugins officially supports SDK31

It will be released today Ashley.

github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/master/RELEASENOTES.md

I think you should change to this new cordova version and bump api, on the first new beta on the new beta cycle. There is a few things you also need to amend for the config file, to use the new native splash. but should be minor things. (They support 32 directly now, from 30.)

And you will need to update quite a few things on your build server I guess.

Great, thanks for the release today Ashley!

Actually you can already raise the target to 32 (which is actually the default one by cordova now). api32 is also android 12 (12S), and there are no new functionalities you need to cater for.

regarding the new splash, since you have dedicated exports for android and ios I think you now should remove these lines form the android config.xml file:

• ShowSplashScreenSpinner
• SplashMaintainAspectRatio

Also it would be handy if you added these lines to the config.xml (even though you do not need em to be mapped from C3 editor in any way, but for people doing manually builds we often want to amend these, but you can populate them with default values):

• FadeSplashScreen (true)
• FadeSplashScreenDuration (500)

Also as mentioned in the bug tracker, the icon is not handled correctly at the moment, but there is an easy fix for it.

Also, would it be possible to format the config.xml file? it is very annoying to modify it when it comes from construct, since there is no formatting or line breaks. (standard config.xml from cordova is easily readable and standard xml formatted.)

Also, any particular reason you still have a config.json?

Ah, I assumed 32 was for Android 13 beta, but you're right, it's for Android 12L apparently. I've updated the next beta to target API 32.

ShowSplashScreenSpinner

SplashMaintainAspectRatio

Removing these is a bit tricky: ShowSplashScreenSpinner is still documented as affecting iOS, and SplashMaintainAspectRatio still applies for legacy Android builds. I've removed the latter from the latest builds though as it is indeed no longer a documented property.

Also it would be handy if you added these lines to the config.xml

Those tags are already the defaults, and I'd rather not re-specify the defaults, as the defaults can change and tracking the defaults manually adds to maintenance headaches in the long run.

Also as mentioned in the bug tracker, the icon is not handled correctly at the moment, but there is an easy fix for it.

I don't see a report for this, and it looked OK in my testing. Did you mean to file an issue?

I didn't realise it wasn't formatted! I always looked at it in an auto-formatting tool. I added formatting for the next beta.

That's used by the build service.

Thanks for looking into! Thanks for api32.

Ah ok, no problem. I thought you created different config files depending on if the user did an ios or android cordova export.

I meant my super old ticket, which we re-opened last week. It is not related to any new changes, it is an old issue since we started with adaptives. I can verify that the fix I wrote last week will solve the issue with the fallback icon for old devices. (You should just add the src tag to the adaptive icon line and map it to the icon file in c3, then it will work correct on all devices)

Haha! wow thanks, glad it was so simple. Been thinking of filing this as a bug for so long time, since I've been struggeling with this for years :D

Ah cool, didn't know. I always just delete it, since I don't use it in cordova.
