After removing cordova.js due to "Ionic Deploy" - IPhone status bar overlays header (Same in Ionic view) about legacy-ionic-cloud

[imhoffd]

@sagivf We will be fixing this issue this week. @Fuiste is looking into fixing the deploy plugin so this no longer happens. Ionic View is also being addressed.

[Fuiste]

As @Manduro mentioned on the ionic-plugin-deploy repo, I'm currently working on a fix for this wherein the reference to cordova.js is manipulated natively in the plugin rather than in the cloud client. It's still not 100% yet, and I still need to add Android support, but this should be addressed in the coming days.

[Fuiste]

Oh, forgot to mention this, but the plugin v0.6.0 was released yesterday, which addresses this problem.

You should no longer need to remove the cordova.js reference now, so feel free to give it a spin!

[imhoffd]

@joshgarwood Okay, cool. I'm planning on another release tomorrow that should clear that issue up.

[imhoffd]

@sagivf @joshgarwood @Manduro If you update to the latest cloud client and deploy plugin, this issue should be fixed. Remember to add the cordova.js reference back in your index.html.

Let me know how it goes!

[sagivf]

thanks @dwieeb works nicely!

[imhoffd]

@sagivf I will test this on an iOS device today! Android has thus far been flawless. It could be a number of different issues and we may need to rope some people in to help.

[sagivf]

This has something to do with the https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-statusbar plugin.
adding <preference name="StatusBarOverlaysWebView" value="false" /> to the config.xml fixed the position issue.

Still haven't solved the color issue though.
Plus its kind of hacky having to do this due to the Ionic Platform...

[sagivf]

OK found something else.

Seeing these errors -

But when installing the plugin I get a message saying they are already installed.
My guess is that the cordova.js is injected to late, or something like that.

[imhoffd]

@sagivf We verified this yesterday on our devices, by the way. This may require a plugin update. We should not be injecting cordova.js in javascript.

[sagivf]

You mean you verified that it works? Not sure I follow. Is there a change on the way which will address this? Is there a workaround in the meantime?

[imhoffd]

Sorry, I meant that we're also getting the status bar issue. I'm looking at our options right now.

[Manduro]

This is not only happening for statusbar or splashscreen, but for any cordova plugin. Still, for the statusbar you can use the following config setting as a workaround to prevent the statusbar from overlapping the header:

const ionicConfig = {
  platforms: {
    ios: {
      statusbarPadding: true
    }
  }
};

ionicBootstrap(App, providers, ionicConfig);

[imhoffd]

@Manduro Yep, the problem is just an order-of-operations issue with how we're loading cordova.js. The status bar is just the most immediate and obvious thing that's broken.

[joshgarwood]

@Fuiste any update on the fix for this and when it will be generally available? Thanks for knocking this out, by the way!

[imhoffd]

Next week I will be testing and prepping the cloud client with the new version of the deploy plugin.

This should be resolved soon so we can get this stuff out the door!

[joshgarwood]

Thanks @dwieeb !! I recently upgrade to Ionic 2 Beta 11, and there's a peer dependency issue with Angular RC.4. I noticed the Issue created here, so unfortunately I don't think I can upgrade cloud angular until that issue is resolved.
