Force Cordova to build for arm or x86

cordova phonegap-build

cordova-build-architecture's Introduction

cordova-build-architecture

This plugin allows you to build your application for arm (or x86) only.

Why?

Plugins like cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview (https://github.com/crosswalk-project/cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview) create two or more .apk files with one build. On Phonegap Build, you can only download one file which leads to problems if you want to get access to the other .apks.

Also, the Crosswalk plugin sometimes creates a combined arm/x86 file on Phonegap Build even if you set the preference xwalkMultipleApk to true.

Maybe you simply need to build for one architecture because of other reasons? This plugin might help you :-)

Usage

Include this plugin in your config.xml:

<plugin name="cordova-build-architecture" spec="https://github.com/MBuchalik/cordova-build-architecture.git#v1.0.4" source="git" />

By default, it will try to produce arm builds only. If you want to target x86, add the following preference:

<preference name="buildArchitecture" value="x86" />

Advanced configuration

Crosswalk also allows you to generate 64 bit builds. This is usually done via a command line parameter, but also seems to be possible using the following preference:

<preference name="xwalk64bit" value="true" />

If you want to fetch the 64 bit arm build, simply use use

<preference name="buildArchitecture" value="arm64" />

For the 64 bit x86 build, you have to specify the following value:

<preference name="buildArchitecture" value="x86_64" />

Summary

The following values can be used in our buildArchitecture preference:

target platform	value	should the xwalk64bit preference be set (to true)?
arm	arm	❌
arm: 64 bit	arm64	✅
x86	x86	❌
x86: 64 bit	x86_64	✅

Please note that this plugin is experimental.

cordova-build-architecture's Issues

64-bit crosswalk works?

I went ahead and made 64-bit versions of my application and just assumed crosswalk worked with those architectures. I just saw a post on another issue that says it doesn't work. Unfortunately, I don't have a 64-bit device to actually test it. Has anyone confirmed one way or the other whether crosswalk works in x86_64 or arm64? The size of my apk files implies binaries are included.

plugin releases via npm v1.0.6 !== cordova v1.0.4

Hi!

via npm I don't see any changes for android v7+... can you synchronize repos/releases?

iOS support

please .

Support for cordova-android >= 7

When using npm to install cordova-plugin-build-architecture, somehow it's not the last release (1.0.4) that adds support for cordova-android >= 7.

doesn't work with new phonegap builder (version 2)

when trying to build with new PGB and phonegap 7.0.1
it appears that pgb doesn't recognize arm or x86 architecture.
it builds an APK with the 2 versions inside.
is it possible for you to check what changes they made ?
thanks !

Please Support x64 (64bit devices)

@MBuchalik Thank you for this excellent pluign.
Please is it possible to add a preference to support x64 (64bit) apk builds?

Thank you so much

path changes in PGB 8.0.0 / cordova-android 7.0.0

apparently there have been path changes in the latest crosswalk version and this plugin is looking only for the old version

Here's the change made: crosswalk-project/cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview@3f43da9

I have zero knowledge of gradle or I'd attempt some sort of PR, but is there a way to try reading the new XML path and then fail over to the old if not found?

Error on cordova 8.0.0

"cordova": "^8.0.0"
"cordova-android": "^7.1.1"

`* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating script.

/Users/dev/JenkinsHome/workspace/Bayam/_DEV/AppBayam/cordova/platforms/android/app/res/xml/config.xml (No such file or directory)`

I think something changed on cordova-android 7.1.1 (path of app - src).

Multi arch

Hello,

It is a way to ask multi output architecture ?
For my projects, i have to use x86_64 + arm64. I have to build 2 times, with diferent arch preference.
The idea is to can buils 2 arch apk simulaneusly.

nota : it's for a xwalk plugin.

Added to npm registry

FYI I added this plugin to the npm registry so it is easier to install : https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-build-architecture

Multiple builds (ARM + ARM64)

Is there any way to make it work with multiple builds such as arm + arm64, instead of just one?
Something like <preference name="buildArchitecture" value="arm,arm64" />, or maybe <preference name="buildArchitecture" value="arm64,x86_64" />

Android build failed

I have got an error during the Android build.

A problem occurred configuring root project 'android'.

All flavors must now belong to a named flavor dimension. Learn more at https://d.android.com/r/tools/flavorDimensions-missing-error-message.html

I've added plugin for providing 64 bit architecture for my project

I've added preference in my config.xml file
<preference name="buildArchitecture" value="arm64" />

Build error

I use your project but get 1.0.6 version, but this version doesn't build because not find config.xml

https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-build-architecture

i think this bellow fix but in the last version doesn't have this code

  if (file('src/main/res/xml/config.xml').exists()) {
    // Cordova-android >= 7
    file_content = file('src/main/res/xml/config.xml').getText()
  } else {
    file_content = file('res/xml/config.xml').getText()
  }

64 bit builds do not respect version code...

Hello! Thanks for this awesome library!

I am trying to build both 32-bit APKs and 64-bit APKs and upload them to Google Play. In order for Google Play to allow this the 64-bit APKs must have a higher versionCode than the 32-bit version.

I am finding something very strange with Android versionCodes. My app has a version code of: 2320202.

When I build the 32-bit arm7, and upload it to Google Play, I see that the Version Code on Google Play is 23202022. Not sure why there is an extra 2 on the end, but whatever...

Then I build the 64-bit arm7, and upload it to Google Play. I see that the Version Code on Google play for that APK is 2320211. It replaced the last two digits with 11???

The problem is that I can't get the version code for the 64-bit builds to be higher than the 32-bit build because of this issue.

Do you know what is happening here?

Thank you!
