Http requests fails only while releasing Android APK - android

I'm struggling in making my app work on Android APK release, the only scenario it fails is at generating and signing the apk. All http requests doesn't work. (The server is running under SSL)
All Scenarios I've tried already:
ionic serve -> Works fine.
ionic cordova run android --device -> Works fine.
Works on emulators as well.
Also works fine generating the iOS build:
ionic cordova build ios.
On Xcode, running build targeting a real device.
On Xcode, archiving and uploading it to Itunesconnect then downloading it from AppStore once it's accepted by Apple.
So, the only case it doesn't work is when I try to generate it's apk through ionic cordova build android --prod --release and signing it.
Google Play also accepts the new APK, so there's no problem with the package sign at all.
Since it works on iOS and running directly on android device, it isn't a CORS or HTTPS certificate problem.
The code:
snippet of login.ts:
this.userService.loginUser(this.user).then(
(data) => {
let response = data.json();
loading.dismiss().then(loadData => {
if (response.access_token) {
this.global.access_token = response.access_token;
this.getUserData();
}
});
}, err => {
let error = err.json();
loading.dismiss().then(response => {
if (error.message) {
this.showToast(error.message, 3000, 'bottom');
}
});
}
);
userService.loginUser method:
loginUser(data) {
let headers = new Headers();
headers.append('Access-Control-Allow-Origin', '*');
headers.append('auth-token', '*');
return this.abs.post('/authenticateMobile',
{
login_ds_email: data.email,
login_ds_password: data.pass
}, headers);
}
Where abs is:
constructor(http) {
this.abs = new ApiService(http);
}
ApiService.post method:
public post(api, params, header): any {
if (!header) {
header = this.getHeaders();
}
let options = new RequestOptions({headers: header});
let url = this.global.urlGlobal + api;
return this.http.post(url, params, options).toPromise();
}
The App gets stuck when I fire "login" button and the request is made. There's no exception thrown by the server, so the loading screen is shown forever.
I've running out of solutions for this and I hope you guys can help me out.

I had this exact same issue some time ago. In my case the problem was an invalid certificate. The certificate looked fine to me in the browser (chrome even showed the green lock), on iOS and while testing on Android. But I had android-users complain it wasn't working for them.
After hours of researching it turned out that requests to websites with invalid certificates just get silently dropped, which means there is no feedback whatsoever. No errors, nothing. (If I remember correctly, the js code just stopped executing without returning or executing any callbacks.) This happens ONLY when building in release mode.
A workaround is described here:
http://ivancevich.me/articles/ignoring-invalid-ssl-certificates-on-cordova-android-ios/
The best way to handle it would be to pin the certificate in your app.

My issue was incomplete SSL chain, solve it by reconfiguring nginx to have the entire chain of SSL certificates as described here:
http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/configuring_https_servers.html#chains

My problem was with SSL as well. If you get an "A+" rating from this website, it should work. My original grade was "B".

You can use this site to correct it.

Ionic Codepush Cordova not available after sync

i'm trying to implement Code-Push from AppCenter into my Ionic v4 App. (ref)
I'm stuck on the following Problem: I can update the App, but when i close the App after that and open again it is the old Version again and it says:
Updade ignored, because it was rollbacked
So somehow the update is rolled back after i close the App. After searching for this problem i found that i have to run
this.codePush.notifyApplicationReady()
on application start. I added this to my code, but it doesn't work either. If i run the Application on a Android Emulator and open the Logs, AFTER the Update it says:
cordova_not_available
So it makes sense that the notifyApplicationReady doesn't work, but why is cordova unavailable?
initializeApp() {
this.platform.ready().then(() => {
this.statusBar.styleDefault();
this.codePush.notifyApplicationReady().then(value => {
console.log(value);
});
this.codePush.sync({
deploymentKey: 'MY_KEY',
installMode: InstallMode.IMMEDIATE
}).subscribe(status => {
console.log(status);
});
this.splashScreen.hide();
});
}
Do u use command ionic build --prod ? this conmand will not include cordova.js,so if app installed this package the cordova will not available, in ionic4 i use ionic cordova build android --prod to include the cordova.js and then release the www file to code push serve.it wokrs!

How to launch external app from an ionic4 app

My app is under Ionic 4 for android and I have to open/run/launch external app (for exemple com.google.android.youtube or com.sygic.truck) -> for instance, any installed app.
I tested many options without any success :
InAppBrowserModule (using application://my.package.name).
Cordova plugin lampaa (I didn't find any ways to use it under angular/ts app type).
I tried also webIntent using package option and action option calling the main Activity.
For InAppBrowserModule, i'm stuck with the http:// protocole appended before my app url.
For Lampaa, i'm stuck with the undefined startApp (even after following other threads suggestions).
And for webIntent, I don't think that it's relevent for my issue.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance !
[EDIT]
I finally make it works !
You can use one of those 2 lines :
this.iab.create('android-app://com.google.android.youtube',"_system");
window.open('android-app://com.google.android.youtube',"_system");
You can replace com.google.android.youtube by any application package name !
You can check if the user is on Android, have the app installed and later open it as follow:
constructor(
private platform: Platform, // from 'ionic-angular'
private appAvailability: AppAvailability, // from '#ionic-native/app-availability'
private iab: InAppBrowser, // from '#ionic-native/in-app-browser'
) {}
openYoutube() {
const package = "com.google.android.youtube"
if(this.platform.is('android')) {
this.appAvailability.check(package)
.then(()=> {
this.iab.create('android-app://'+package, '_system', 'location=yes')
})
.catch(()=> {
// not installed
)
} else {
// not on Android
}
}
For ionic 4 we can use
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-app-launcher
npm install #ionic-native/app-launcher
You can use the following cordova plugin to check if other apps are installed and launch them.
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-app-launcher
npm install #ionic-native/app-launcher
Simple Cordova plugin to see if other apps are installed and launch them.

Ionic v2 create project issue

I'm trying to get ionic2 up and running by following the Getting Started page. I ran the npm -g install cordova ionic command in step one and everything seemed fine but when I ran step two ionic start --v2 myApp tabs I received errors.

I've had things running fine for ionic v1 so not sure why things in npm aren't working for v2. The error almost seems like it doesn't understand ES6 arrow functions or something since it's saying unexpected token on the =>.
Any ideas how to deal with this? Do I need to reinstall node?
Thanks
Best way uninstall and delete node from C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86) and install the latest version.
OR
This is a ionic bug in this file
C:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ionic\node_modules\ionic-app-lib\lib\start_wizard.js
For compile this syntax of node.js you need to new version of Node.js and so you must be change all lambda syntax from function to normalize codes for older versions:
ps.stdout.on('data', (data) => {
var d = data.toString('utf-8');
if(d.indexOf('dev server running') >= 0) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'application/json'});
res.end(JSON.stringify({
'status': 'success'
}));
}
process.stdout.write(d);
});
To :
ps.stdout.on('data',function (data) {
var d = data.toString('utf-8');
if(d.indexOf('dev server running') >= 0) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'application/json'});
res.end(JSON.stringify({
'status': 'success'
}));
}
process.stdout.write(d);
});
Full Correct file : Download
I am not sure this way it could work for you, even i had a issue i have resolved this way . I believe look like node migration issue .Try to set latest version (e.g 6.9.4).Before doing do clean npm and then install.Hope this should work

Ionic push notification error- 'undefined' not a function Ionic.User.anonymousId()

I'm new in ionic framework, developing one simple app using ionic framework. Implementing push notification,
am following below link
https://devdactic.com/android-push-notifications/
went up to final step:
$ionicPlatform.ready(function() {
var io = Ionic.io();
var push = new Ionic.Push({
"onNotification": function(notification) {
alert('Received push notification!');
},
"pluginConfig": {
"android": {
"iconColor": "#0000FF"
}
}
});
var user = Ionic.User.current();
if (!user.id) {
user.id = Ionic.User.anonymousId();
}
// Just add some dummy data..
user.set('name', 'Simon');
user.set('bio', 'This is my little bio');
user.save();
var callback = function(data) {
push.addTokenToUser(user);
user.save();
};
push.register(callback);
});
After this run the below commend
ionic serve -w safari
getting the below error in console ( check last line)
Ionic Core: init
ionic.io.bundle.min.js:2Ionic Core: searching for cordova.js
ionic.io.bundle.min.js:2Ionic Core: attempting to mock plugins
app.js:26TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function (evaluating 'Ionic.User.anonymousId()')
if i run "ionic info" getting following lines
Your system information:
Cordova CLI: 6.1.0 (cordova-lib#undefined)
Ionic Version: 1.2.4
Ionic CLI Version: 1.7.14
Ionic App Lib Version: 0.7.0

Node Version: v5.0.0
Dependency warning - for the CLI to run correctly,
it is highly suggested to install/upgrade the following:
Please install your Cordova CLI to version >=4.2.0 npm install -g cordova
The Ionic Platform has now moved to Beta status. Part of this change is the introduction of the Platform API and User authentication. We've deprecated the alpha API for the Users and Push services and will be removing them entirely in the coming months.
Users now require Authentication, so Ionic.User.anonymousId(); is not available.
Have a look at Migrations and user usage.

Phonegap - Ignore font-size display setting on Android

I'm having an issue with some android devices when changing the font-size display setting through configuration.
In web browser my app is simple ignoring this. This is true for some other mobiles too.
But with some specific mobiles (like Motorola G or X) changing this config also affects my Phonegap app.
I don't know how to avoid this to make the app look consistent
I've found a solution using this cordova plugin: com.phonegap.plugin.mobile-accessibility
You have to follow installation instructions for the plugin, and then you can use it inside Ionic app. You only have to ensure to call its functions after Cordova 'deviceready' callback (accesed by $ionicPlatform.ready in the example below):
angular.module('app').controller('IndexController', function ($ionicPlatform, $window) {
$ionicPlatform.ready(function(){
if($window.MobileAccessibility){
$window.MobileAccessibility.usePreferredTextZoom(false);
}
});
});
For anyone using Ionic. Documentation is here.
Install
$ ionic cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-mobile-accessibility
$ npm install --save #ionic-native/mobile-accessibility
Add to module, i.e. app.module.ts
import { MobileAccessibility } from 'ionic-native';
#NgModule({
providers:[MobileAccessibility]
});
In app.component.ts
constructor( mobileAccessibility: MobileAccessibility, platform: Platform) {
platform
.ready()
.then(()=>{
mobileAccessibility.usePreferredTextZoom(false);
});
}
