cordova-cli 6.5.0
cordova-android 6.2.3
cordova-ios 4.5.2 (using https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios#4.5.2 as cordova-ios@4.5.2 is not publicly available in npm yet) .. anyway, I don't think this is relevant as I have the same issue on android builds
Description
I'm building an ios & android application for some time now (~2 years) and I don't understand why, on my latest release, my production (--device --release) build doesn't embed cordova.js file anymore where as non-production build (--debug) does.
I can confirm this with an alert(window.cordova) which shows "undefined" at startup and after a ~30s delay (to make sure cordova is not bootstrapped after a deviceReady is fired)
It sounds like a bug on my side, however I can't really know how to confirm that as I don't have a lot of knowledge on cordova building process internals.
What I can tell so far :
- cordova.js is currently not packaged on both android and ios as soon as I `cordova build --device --release ios|android`
- cordova.js is currently packaged on both android and ios as soon as I `cordova build --debug ios|android`
- In my latest release, 2 monthes ago (August 17th), `cordova build --device --release ios|android` was working perfectly fine.
Noticeable changes since then were :- package.json : I removed ios-deploy@1.9.0 dependency & added xml2js@0.4.19
- config.xml : I upgraded cordova-plugin-splashscreen@~3.2.2 => cordova-plugin-splashscreen@4.0.3 & cordova-ios@4.1.1 => cordova-ios@https://github.com/apache/cordova-ios#4.5.2 & added 2 new plugins (cordova-plugin-request-location-accuracy and cordova-android-support-gradle-release)
- my build process (grunt-based) didn't changed for 6 monthes
- I made a change un July, so "integrated" into my latest working release which was to include cordova.js file inside my main index.html page in the end of the <head> tag, and before any other js script (my other js scripts are loaded in the end of the <body> tag)
When I look for cordova.js file in platforms/ directory, it show me :
> find platforms -name cordova.js platforms/android/assets/www/cordova.js platforms/android/build/intermediates/assets/debug/www/cordova.js platforms/android/build/intermediates/assets/release/www/cordova.js platforms/android/platform_www/cordova.js platforms/browser/platform_www/cordova.js platforms/ios/<MY APP NAME>.xcarchive/Products/Applications/<MY APP NAME>.app/www/cordova.js platforms/ios/CordovaLib/cordova.js platforms/ios/platform_www/cordova.js platforms/ios/www/cordova.js
If someone has any hint for debugging this, it would be very kind.
