PGB no longer shows my config.xml specified start up splash screen

Edit Subject

I am seeing the same problem on iPhone. This might be related to 1.7.0, I am not sure. I just upgraded my config.xml to use 1.7.0 and then I noticed the problem, but I have not built using 1.6.1 in a couple of weeks, so I do not know if it is due to 1.7.0 or just a new change in PG Build. I will try Android next on 1.7.0 and report my findings here.

I just tried Android and the app icon is the generic one that has the blue background and diagonal IIII weird Roman numeral thing. I also do not see any splash screen for Android, even though it worked previously. Next I will try changing my Config.xml back to 1.6.1 and see if that resolves these issues. Stay tuned...

And here are the results using 1.6.1:

- iPhone has splash screen again

- Android has generic icon

- Android has no splash screen at all

Please note that the app icon for iPhone seems to work just fine whether using 1.6.1 or 1.7.0. I have not tried BlackBerry yet, but if you figure this out please take a look at BB to see if the same problems are there with 1.7.0. But the Android issues seem to be present on both 1.7.0 and 1.6.1.

Please help, would like to use 1.7.0 and push an update so I can get the camera fixes for iOS, but I don't want that generic splash screen. Many thanks in advance!

Im trying to load in some splash screens and icons. But don't seem to work.

Hey I just wanted to notify everyone that we are looking into the issue, we made the appropriate changes to Android on 1.7.0, however it seems that IOS has also changed it's implementation of splash screens.

We've tracked this bug and are looking at resolving it.

Here is some more information:

When building with phonegap 1.7 on PGB the app always shows the default cordova splash screen in iOS.

We tried:
- Building our own app using config.xml as decribed in https://build.phonegap.com/docs/confi...
- Building the demo app from https://github.com/hardeep/pgbuild-app

The result is the same: The app shows the default cordova splash screen.
Using PG 1.6.1 shows the splashes as expected but is not an option for us.

Thank you for your help.

Splash screens of demo app not working with PGB 1.7.

Hey guys,

Just to let you know where we'r at:

• We need PG 1.7 because of CB-347 and CB-330


• The app is overdue for release / update


• We updated the config.xml to exactly match the one from the docs (see below)

After building on PGB we get

• Default cordova splash screen on Android and iOS


• Icons on iOS are messed up


• We cannot submit to itunes connect. The message is "ipad:icon.png: icon dimensions (57x57) don't meet size requirements. The icon must be 72x72 pixels, in png format" (this worked with 1.6.1)


• The same problems arise when using the Icon/Splash Demo App

Here's the config.xml

	<icon src="icon.png" />

	<icon src="icons/ios/icon.png" width="57" height="57" />

	<icon src="icons/icon-72.png" gap:platform="ios" width="72" height="72" />

	<icon src="icons/icon-at_2x.png" width="114" height="114" />


	<icon src="icons/android/ldpi.png" width="36" height="36" gap:platform="android" gap:density="ldpi" />

	<icon src="icons/android/mdpi.png" width="48" height="48" gap:platform="android" gap:density="mdpi" />

	<icon src="icons/android/hdpi.png" width="72" height="72" gap:platform="android" gap:density="hdpi" />


	<gap:splash src="splash.png" />


	<gap:splash src="splash/ios/Default.png" width="320" height="480" />

	<gap:splash src="splash/ios/Default_at_2x.png" width="640" height="960" />

	<gap:splash src="splash/ios/Default-Landscape.png" width="1024" height="768" />

	<gap:splash src="splash/ios/Default-Portrait.png" width="768" height="1024" />


	<gap:splash src="splash/android/ldpi.png" gap:platform="android" gap:density="ldpi" />

	<gap:splash src="splash/android/mdpi.png" gap:platform="android" gap:density="mdpi" />

	<gap:splash src="splash/android/hdpi.png" gap:platform="android" gap:density="hdpi" />

Thank you again for looking into this!

Hey Webacons,

Great! That's really useful information, last night I was able to get these issues sorted out in a staging environment.

I'm working on getting it into our production environments now.

Okay I just deployed a patch, I've tested the patch on an ipad, iphone, android mdpi, and android hdpi device.

You should be able to test the patch as well, I've updated

https://github.com/hardeep/pgbuild-app

To reflect 1.7.0 issues that users were running into.

If you're testing against this app please remember to hit "update", rebuild, delete the previous app from your phone, and install the new build.

If you are testing your own application the same procedure follows hit "update", rebuild, delete the previous app from your phone, and install the new build

Let me know how it goes,

Hardeep Shoker

Alright,

The patch seemed to help the situation for some however it also caused issues for other. I'm going to revert changes to this for tonight and I'll take a look at it again tomorrow morning.

Is there any way that we can just get the iOS 57x57 icon issue resolved ASAP? The Android icon issues seem to be larger in scope. We really need to ship our app to the Apple App Store ASAP. Fixing this one iOS bug would be huge because it takes Apple 2 weeks to approve an app update, whereas Google Play (Android Market) is pretty much real-time. So if there is any ability to work on the iOS icon problem first and get that resolved, that would take the heat off this topic for my situation and probably many others. Can someone at Adobe please comment?

Me too, running the same problem and i must downgrade to 1.6.1.
Pleas fix it.

Okay, I don't know why, but just for kicks I tried rebuilding my app and then using the Application Loader to try sending it to iTunes again, and for some reason this time it worked! I did not receive any e-mail and I don't see any postings about anybody fixing this, but just maybe they are fixing it and have not yet sent an e-mail about it yet. So if anyone else is in the same boat, which is that you just need to submit a PG 1.7.0 app to the Apple AppStore ASAP, give it a try and it just might work. Now I'm going to see if the Android icons are magically fixed. I'll report back in a few...

Okay, the Android icon is still the default IIII icon. But we are not so concerned about that due to how fast/easy it is to update our app in the Google Marketplace. So we'll continue to wait another day or two and see if this gets resolved.

Just tried my app for BlackBerry built with 1.7.0. The icon is the default "plug" icon. Also, the app doesn't work for some reason, not sure why. I recall that 1.6.1 did not work for me either on BB and I had to resort to using 1.5.0, so it could still be the case. I hate to say it but I am starting to get the feeling that I'll have to resort to maintaining my own build environment for every PG platform that I want to target. Is anyone else feeling that way too? It is just too much at stake to have details like this out of our control, particulary once the app is shipping and you just need to make an update to take advantage of new PG bug fixes.
