Couldn't download plugin cordova visual studio 2013


Unable to add cordova plugins to my project. Althoudh I used following process run following command to install cordova globally

npm install -g cordova

Then create new cordova project using

cordova start project_name

Go to directory and Install plugin using

cordova plugin add org.apache.cordova.file

Copy Installed plugin folder & paste into plugins folder in Visual Studio solution. Update config file

<vs:plugin name="org.apache.cordova.file" version="1.3.1" />

Build the Project.

If have a query please let me know.


Solution

  • The reason this doesn't work is because the CPR plugin registry for older versions of Cordova (less than 5.0) has been removed. You need to upgrade to a newer version of Cordova that uses NPM to get plugins.

    Please see this for more information:

    https://cordova.apache.org/announcements/2015/04/21/plugins-release-and-move-to-npm.html

    Also note that the plugin names have changed. org.apache.cordova.file is now cordova-plugin-file.
