cordova can oly give me old version + isLocationEnabled() is not working about cordova-diagnostic-plugin

I can say with almost certaintly that your problem is you have an outdated version of the Cordova CLI. You can confirm this by simply typing cordova -v. If the version is any less than 5.0.0, there's your problem. To update to the most recent version, use npm install -g cordova.

Since version 5.0.0, cordova has switched to use npmjs as its plugin registry, but earlier versions (3.x-4.x) still use the now deprecated Cordova Plugin Repository as the primary plugin registry. The Cordova Plugin Repository is now immutablable (read-only) which means that any plugins on there are likely to be out-of-date, including this one. The last version of cordova.plugins.diagnostic published here was v1.1.0. Whereas the version on npmjs is now v2.1.0.

Note that in v2.1.0, cordova.plugins.diagnostic.isLocationEnabled() returns true on Android if GPS or network location (Wifi/cell triangulation) is enabled. To specifically test if GPS is enabled, use cordova.plugins.diagnostic.isGpsLocationEnabled()

On iOS, it is not possible to differentiate between GPS and network location providers, so cordova.plugins.diagnostic.isLocationEnabled() returns true if Location Services is enabled and the app has been authorized to use location.

Thanks for your reply. I really wish your guess it true, then I can resolve this problem quick.

The android version of my app works perfectly now, but the iOS version of app still have problem.

Let's assume my local env is broken, the phonegap build should be fine, right? As I mentioned earlier, my iOS app is built in phonegap clould platform, so I assume the version should not be the problem as I used <gap:plugin name="cordova.plugins.diagnostic" source="npm" /> in my config.xml(I cannot confirm the version since the build log does not show me the version)

Right now, the cordova.plugins.diagnostic.isLocationEnabled is fine in iOS, but the cordova.plugins.diagnostic object does not have switchToSettings function 0.O

Do you still suspect the plugin version is the problem or do you have a second thought?

Thanks.

If cordova.plugins.diagnostic.switchToSettings() is not defined, then it's almost certain you're including an old version of the plugin. I've no experience with Phonegap Build (I build everything locally), but you should make sure you're specifying npm as the plugin repository:

<gap:plugin name="cordova.plugins.diagnostic" source="npm" />

and not Cordova Plugin Repository:

<gap:plugin name="cordova.plugins.diagnostic" source="plugins.cordova.io" />
