Breaks other plugins about cordova-plugin-ibeacon HOT 16 CLOSED

Hi @23pointsNorth

Could you please let us know the platform you are working with? If it's both Android and iOS I'd also be interested if the issue is consistent across the platforms?

I suspect it's iOS only and the swizzling is the part, where it goes wrong since other plugins are trying to do that as well (push, most notably, but I guess some others too).

Hi Peter,

I've tested and this happens on both Android and iOS. I think it is somehow dependent on this plugin, as when I try with an only iOS iBeacon plugin, it works in the whole project.

@23pointsNorth Thanks for the very helpful info!

I'll try to recreate the problem when I get some time.
I know it's unlikely, but if you happen to be able to share the project source that you used for your tests that'd be a time saver. Of course if you can't, no problem at all, I'll just recreate one myself.

Hi @petermetz,

Sadly I won't be able to share the code. However, I am using:

• Barcode: https://github.com/wildabeast/BarcodeScanner
• Push: https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin

Hope this helps.

Hi @petermetz,

I have some more debugging information.
I've tested the following situation.
Sample barcode application with no ibeacon - working.
Sample barcode application with ibeacon v1.1 - working for iOS.
Sample barcode application with ibeacon v2 or master - not working for iOS or Android.

Playing around with the order at which the plugins were added in cordova revealed some major information.
[SOLUTION] If I add the ibeacon plugin first and then everything else, it successfully works with master branch. Any other configuration - fails.

Hope this helps!

Hi @23pointsNorth,

Thanks you very much, all of this is really helpful and very well laid out information. I'll try to reproduce the issue and hopefully find a fix.

@23pointsNorth Where can I set the loading order?

I have the problem that I never get the deviceready event.

We also found out that when ww put the application to the background and resume it the deviceready event is fired and the other plugins are loaded.

@sunsus I don't think it's the loading order in this context it probably means that he added the the plugins in the specified order to his project, not about actually controlling how the framework loads the plugins at runtime.

I've just fixed a problem which might or might not be related to this issue but it was worth to do a bug-fix release regardless (v3.1.1).

If you could see if removing the plugin and installing the newer version gives this a fix that would be really great.

Thanks in advance,

It's certainly sounds like the clobber might have been the problem if it conflicts with any other plugin, so please try the latest version 3.1.2 thanks to a PR from @sunsus

Is there a solution on the way for this problem. I am currently working on an app that relies on both GPS and IBEACON. If i use them seperatly they work just fine, but if I add the ibeacon plugin to my project it just breaks the gps plugin. And something strange is that when i start ranging i need to double click my home button to make it start, or else it does nothing .

if you want to check the project out, this is the link where you can download it (build with ionic) :

As I wrote earlier. The solution (mitigating the problem tbh) is to add the ibeacon plugin first in your project. Then, add all other plugins (gps, etc). This is how I got other BLE, GPS, camera plugins to work.

from cordova-plugin-ibeacon.

I have tried that, even removed all the ones from ionic. Just to be sure. But still the same problem keep occurring. As soon as I add the plugin, the rest stops working. Xcode gives me this warning, maybe it has something to do with that ?!

Hi,

I have tested the latest version from PG build (3.1.2) and the problem remains. I tested it multiple times and most of them worked correctly. Unfortunately I cannot find a pattern when the problem appears.

from cordova-plugin-ibeacon.

Hi guys,

I tested PG build 3.2.1 version of the plugin and I confirm that the issue is resolved.

That's good to hear, finally!
