App not working on Android or iOS after update to Meteor 1.2 rc 15

help
1

So today I updated my meteor project to version 1.2 rc 15 and on Android I am having some errors with the app, when i run the command

meteor run android

the simulator opens up, the app start launching and then I just get a blank (white) screen that never changes and this is what I see in terminal:

=> Started app on Android Emulator.           
I20150916-20:53:23.169(-5) (android:file:///android_asset/www/cordova.js:59) Uncaught module cordova-plugin-file.ProgressEvent not found

I20150916-20:53:27.357(-5) (android:file:///android_asset/www/cordova.js:1176) Channel not fired: onCordovaReady

Then for iOS I ran the command

meteor run ios-device

I compiled the app with no problem on Xcode, but when it launches on the simulator it also gets stuck on the launching splash image with a loading in the middle and this is what I get on Xcode’s console:

I really have no idea what to do right now, so anything could help me, thanks!

I think I should add that on web (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) everything runs smoothly.

3

I’ve encountered this error before, and in that case is was due to an incompatibility between the installed versions of cordova-plugin-file and cordova-plugin-file-transfer. Could you try upgrading both to their latest versions?

4

How can I try updating these? when I run meteor list I don’t see them :s.

5

Have you installed any Cordova plugins yourself? Or packages that have dependencies on plugins?

6

Yes, both of them:

cordova:com.keepe.cardio                     
cordova:nl.x-services.plugins.socialsharing
mdg:camera                                   
mdg:geolocation 
raix:push
7

I suspect one of these dependencies is overriding the cordova-plugin-file dependency in the autoupdate package with an older version. Unfortunately, there is no version conflict resolution for Cordova plugins.

Could you post .meteor/local/cordova-build/plugins/fetch.json?

Hmmm, this is really unexpected. It seems both cordova-plugin-file and org.apache.cordova.file (old ID) are installed without version constraints and not as top level (so not installed by Meteor but as a dependency of some other plugin).

Did you remove the autoupdate package by any chance? (It should work without it, but that’s where the dependency on cordova-plugin-file and cordova-plugin-file-transfer usually comes from.)

10

I suspect org.apache.cordova.media is the culprit, because 0.2.15 this is a rather old version that has a dependency on an older version of the file plugin.

Did you install this plugin directly, or do you know which package could have a dependency on it?

11

Thasnk you very much, you were right the plugin that was making this error come up was (feedback) https://atmospherejs.com/elevatedevdesign/feedback I removed it and I could get the app running on the iOS Simulator.

Can confirm same issue with that package!
