cordova build of viewer app failing on android 6.0.1

[pjdowner]

Hi,

I'm just getting started with evothings, I've been trying to build my own cordova app, but I've temporarily given up and switched to trying to build the evothings viewer with cordova from the master branch of https://github.com/evothings/evothings-viewer and whilst it runs it's failing to find devices, I get nothing reported in the console.log when remote debugging with chrome or in the evothings workbench tools log. However in adb logcat I get:

Code: Select all

The geolocation plugin is installed which I believe this error relates to, although I have just updated my phone to Android 6.0.1 so there may be some new permissions required on the latest version? However oddly enough the version of the viewer I had installed on my phone earlier (before removing it to install my own build) which was from the google play store, worked fine on Android 6.0.1

Does anyone know how I can add these permissions to the viewer app?

Hi, this could be a related issue: https://github.com/evothings/cordova-ble/issues/87

Added a note to the above issue about the permissions mentioned in your log.

Working on a new version of Evothings Viewer, will look for this problem.

Many thanks for reporting this!

Best, Mikael
