cordova-plugin-market's Introduction

cordova-plugin-market

Cordova (PhoneGap) 3.0+ plugin to open an application on native Marketplace app, aka Play Store for Android or App Store for iOS. Currently this plugin is compatible only with Android and iOS. Feel free to add support for the platform you need!

Installation

This plugin follows the Cordova 3.0 plugin spec, so it can be installed through the Cordova CLI in your existing Cordova project:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/xmartlabs/cordova-plugin-market

How to use it

When you want to open the device's store do this:

For Android use the app's package:

cordova.plugins.market.open('your.app.package')
For iOS, first you need to create an easy-to-read link to your app using App Store Short Links, then use the app name

cordova.plugins.market.open('yourappname')

This will open the link itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/yourappname. Alternatively you can use your app's id that should be similar to id284815942

You can also add a success and failure callback like this:

var appId = "...";
cordova.plugins.market.open(appId, {
  success: function() {
    // Your stuff here
  },
  error: function() {
    // Your stuff here
  }
})

When you want to search for apps with keyword:

For Android use the app's package:

cordova.plugins.market.search('keyword')
For iOS, no support yet

You can also add a success and failure callback like this:

  var keyword = "gmail";
  cordova.plugins.market.search(keyword, {
    success: function() {
      // Your stuff here
    },
    error: function() {
      // Your stuff here
    }
  })

Open with developer id

I want to open all my apps under my developer id, but you don't have that option, please try to add it. It should help all developers.

NPM install calling plugman.fetch, overwrites custom config parameters

Thanks for creating this plugin. When we include it in our project's config.xml like so:

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-market" spec="~1.1.0" />

for some reason it installs itself using plugman.fetch during the $cordova prepare ios phase. the result is that custom configuration settings in the *-Info.plist are getting overwritten. we changed the line in our config.xml to install your plugin from git as so:

<plugin name="com.xmartlabs.cordova.market" spec="https://github.com/xmartlabs/cordova-plugin-market" />

and the problem goes away. is there something unusual about how we added it the first time, or is this something in your set up?

thanks again for making this plugin!

It doesn't work on iOS 8.3

Hi guys, thanks for your plugin, I haven't been able to make It works on iOS with this config:

cordova 5.0.0
cordova-android 3.6.4
cordova-ios 3.8.0

Testing on iPhone 5, ios 8.3

No problem with Android.

I have solved the problem using _itms-apps://_ protocol with opens the Appstore app correctly ;-)

if (device.platform === 'Android') {
    cordova.plugins.market.open('com.sportmaniacs.app');
} else if (device.platform === 'iOS') {
    window.location = "itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/<APPID>";
}

Error in Apple Store

Code:

cordova.plugins.market.open('instagram')

Result

As the app in question is Instagram, I'm sure it exists in the store.

Erro execute open

I'm trying to use the plugin to redirect users to the store and update the application. On import I could only make it work as follows:

import { Market } from '@ionic-native/market/ngx';

In use I'm trying it as follows:

let id = 'br.com.packge'
this.market.open(id).then(response => {
console.debug(response);
}).catch(error => {
console.warn(error);
});

The more I have to return or the error:

ERROR TypeError: Object(...) is not a function

I'm doing something wrong, already reviewing all the import processes. I'm a beginner in Ionic and I can not find the source of the error, could anyone help me find where I'm going wrong?

Open AppStore not finding published app, while Play Store does

Hello.

I'm having no problems opening the Play Store from the app, but when I run it on iOS with the same package name, the AppStore returns an 'app not found' response. I've checked the apps bundle identifier with Xcode and it's com.appName.app. That bundle id works for the Play Store but not for the App Store.

I'm calling the method as explained in the doc: this.market.open('com.appName.app');

I don't know if I'm doing anything wrong in regards to using the plugin or if something is not working properly.

Error - Cannot open app store

Trying to use this in an iOS application. When I launch it opens up the app store app and then this message appears.

Ionic v4 w/angular 8
iOS 12 / iPhoneX

and the App ID is for sure correct. Testing is done on a real live device and the app was distributed via TestFlight - there is a production version of the app available on the app store.

Huwei -> plugin tries to find app in App Gallery instead of playstore

Is there a way to force it to open in Google Playstore or Apple App Store and not app Gallery for Huwei

main.js etc missing in ionic 3 /www/build

I'm submitting a ... (check one with "x")
[x] bug report
[ ] feature request

Current behavior:
After installing cordova-plugin-market in ionic 3 and building, the /www/build folder only contains two files. The following files are missing: main.css, main.css.map, main.js, main.js.map

When running the app with 'ionic run android -lsc --device' this results in 404 errors when the app is run.

Expected behavior:
Correct files in /www/build

Steps to reproduce:
After I install cordova-plugin-market running the app via 'ionic run android -lsc --device' succeeds but the build folder only contains two files so the app fails with several 404 errors. The build output concludes with the following. There are no errors in the rest of the build output:

Please in your example change to cordova.plugins.market in order to work.

Publish on Cordova plugins page

It would be great if your plugin was published the official Cordova way (http://plugins.cordova.io/npm/index.html). I just added support for your plugin in ng-cordova (https://github.com/medihack/ng-cordova/commit/d4abbe33d25fc888158c991b48e3f2d9100e18d0) and most other plugins are already published on the Cordova plugins registry.

It is quite easy, see http://plugins.cordova.io/npm/authors.html

Open App Store with app name

hi everyone,

does the plugin works correctly for iOS? E.g. while trying to open App Store using itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/yourappname (obviously yourappname is the app name, no spaces, no uppercases) the app is not found

I see (https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/qa/qa1633/_index.html) that itunes.com url has been switched with appstore.com time ago

In fact, using appstore.com/apps does the trick

Am I missing something? Does the plugin needs an update (CDVMarket.m, line 23)?

Allow IOS market link setting

Hello!
At this moment, we've noticed that whenever you use the market plugin in IOS it will try to open itms-apps://itunes.apple.com/app/yourappname. The problem for us is that one of our apps is exclusive for the chinese app store, meaning that the link needs to add "cn/" before "app".
Is it possible to provide a config option for this?

search(keyword) is not working in ios

var keyword = "gmail";
cordova.plugins.market.search(keyword, {
success: function() {
// Your stuff here
},
error: function() {
// Your stuff here
}
})

Not working in ios.
