Upgrading versions¶

We are currently using Cordova 8.1.2 with cordova-android 6.4.0 and cordova-ios 4.5.5. In November 2019, if we want to update the app, we will be forced to pass the target API to level 28+ (Meet Google Play's target API level requirement). However, if we want to keep using Cordova 8.1.2, we will not be able to use the latest Android SDK since the version 8.1.2 only support cordova-android up to 7.X.X which only support Android API-Levels from 19 to 27 (Android - Requirements and Support).

Upgrading Android¶

One of the main issue that we will encounter when we are going to upgrade our Android version is the structure changes. Cordova had to adapt the new structure used by Android Studio. The sources will now be into the directory app/src/main/java. So it will be necessary to refractor each platforms/android/src by platforms/android/app/src/main/java (same for assets/ and res/).

Moreover, as we are using a Foreground service (with the plugin e-mission-data-collection), we also have to add a new permission: android.permission.FOREGROUND_SERVICE to the Android Manifest (Behavior changes: apps targeting API level 28+).

There is no Cordova plugin which provides Sign In with Apple right now. However, as we are using a WebView, we can use the Sign In with Apple JS framework but there are some UI guidelines to respect: Human Interface Guidelines. Apple also "asked" to make Sign In with Apple the first option when we offer different authentication options.
