Cordova Marketplace Plugin

Reports how the app was installed / which app marketplace it came from. Exposes window.plugins.marketplace with a single action, getInfo.

Installation

cordova plugin add @genvid/cordova-plugin-marketplace

The plugin is published publicly to npm under the @genvid scope.

Development

File structures

• plugin.xml: The plugin configuration file
• src/
  • android/: Android source code
  • ios/: iOS source code
• www/: Web source code
• tests/: Node Project Plugin Tests
• types/: Some type definitions (manually update)
• demo/: Node Demo project also use for testing

How to build the plugin

npm i
npm run lint
npm run package

This will create two packages:

• genvid-cordova-plugin-marketplace-<version>.tgz for the plugin
• cordova-plugin-marketplace-tests-<version>.tgz for the tests

Notice

Please, maintain the .npmignore consistently to avoid distributing unnecessary files in the packages.

Releasing

Releases are published to npm automatically by GitHub Actions using OIDC trusted publishing — no npm token is stored anywhere. Pushing a vX.Y.Z tag that matches package.json's version triggers .github/workflows/publish.yml, which runs the shared validation gate and then npm publish --provenance. ci.yml runs the same gate (lint / typecheck / test / build) on every pull request and push to main.

The CircleCI android/ios jobs only build the on-device demo as a smoke test; they no longer package or publish the plugin.

How to build and run the test demo

After having build the packages:

npm run install-sdk:android:windows
npm run setup:demo
npm run build:demo:<platform>

where <platform> is replaced with either android or ios.

Then you can run the application:

npm run run:demo:<platform>

To clean everything and rebuild, you can do:

npm run refresh:demo:<platform>

Manual installation and running for Android

Sometimes, cordova doesn't select the right ABI to upload. You will get an error like:

Using apk: C:\repos\cordova-plugin-eos\demo\platforms\android\app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-armeabi-v7a-debug.apk
Package name: com.genvidtech.eosdemo
Command failed with exit code 1: adb -s 38110DLJH000N8 install -r C:\repos\cordova-plugin-eos\demo\platforms\android\app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-armeabi-v7a-debug.apk
adb: failed to install C:\repos\cordova-plugin-eos\demo\platforms\android\app\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-armeabi-v7a-debug.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: INSTALL_FAILED_NO_MATCHING_ABIS: Failed to extract native libraries, res=-113]

Here what to do:

# install the right APK
abd install -r .\demo\platforms\android\build\outputs\apk\debug\app-{abi of your android device}-debug.apk
# start the application on the device
adb shell am start -n com.genvidtech.eosdemo/com.genvidtech.eosdemo.MainActivity
# output logs
adb logcat --pid=$(adb shell pidof -s com.genvidtech.eosdemo) | tee eosdemo.log
