Cordova undefined on iOS

[arddor]

Hello,

I’m trying to use Quasar to build an App for iOS and Android using the Barcode plugin. Android works without a Problem, however on iOS i always get ReferenceError: Can't find variable: cordova. I’m trying the following on button press:

cordova.plugins.barcodeScanner.scan(
function (result) {
    alert("We got a barcode\n" +
          "Result: " + result.text + "\n" +
          "Format: " + result.format + "\n" +
          "Cancelled: " + result.cancelled);
},
function (error) {
    alert("Scanning failed: " + error);
}
);

I tested it with Simulator and Device and the problem occurs with both. Do I have to somehow register the cordovavariable?

try window.cordova

Unfortunately that does also not work for me

Hi, will look into it.

I’m having the same error. App works ok on android but cordova is not recognised on iOS
pre-fixing with window doesn’t help.

Quasar 0.9

[rstoenescu]

Root caused it. Will fix it.

[rstoenescu]

Fixed in Quasar edge and will be available in v0.12.1. Thanks for reporting guys!

Thanks! Using yesterday’s edge. Works ok and stable. Almost ready to start alpha testing my app in the apple.android stores

Cool! Hope you let us in on its release (if possible)!

@s.molinari Surely I will.

[Martin]

@rstoenescu Is it possible to get a branch from v12.0 with the cordova fix? Or maybe just the code snippet (if it’s an easy fix)
Some Modals and popups don’t seem to work with yesterday’s quasar-edge.
(haven’t tried today)
thanks.

[rstoenescu]

@Martin oh? I’m really interested in what the problems are. Wanna release v0.13 this or next week (depending on how much time I have). Skipped v0.12.1 because edge version contains sooo many novelties and enhancements.

[Martin]

@rstoenescu ok, I’ll try again today with latest edge and see if I can give you something reproducible.

[Martin]

I’m getting a null error when closing a Modal. After that it’s not possible to open it again.
I’ll try to set up a simple example that reproduces this.

[Martin]

At first I thought it was related to my cordova security settings, but that’s fixed.
Now I’m only getting this error
"TypeError: Cannot read property ‘removeChild’ of null
at VueComponent.beforeDestroy "
The same error also appears with PopOvers.
Searching on Google gave me this link (a vue-material issue with md-tooltips)
with similar error.

@Martin Ok, now I know what’s this about. Can you share your repo to see the exact use case of your Modal pls? A private link or something. You’re on an edge case and I’d like to fix that also. Thanks!

[Martin]

Ok I’ve set up a rep for you. What email address can I send the link to?

Ok, discussed with Martin in private. He helped me reproduce his use case and pushed fix for it. Quasar edge has it and v0.13 (next immediate version) will too.
