[jira] [Comment Edited] (CB-13932) APK Not Copied to Visual Studio
bin Directory
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13932?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16382250#comment-16382250 ]

---------------------------------------------------------------------
I would suggest Visual Studio should update their integration - latest when they also upgrade to a more recent packaged Cordova CLI. (That's why I asked if that code was publicly available - then someone could even send a Pull Request with the changes.)
Afaik the location where builds are put is not really defined by Cordova, but by the native tooling being used. One can probably override it, but that is not something one wants to do as it just adds more code.
But: Maybe this is all different here, and someone that actually works on cordova-android can tell you more about it. I am just an interested bystander ;)

> Key: CB-13932
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13932
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: cordova-android
> Affects Versions: cordova-android-7.0.0
> Environment: cordova@8.0
> cordova-android@7.1.0
> Visual Studio 2017
> Windows 10
> Reporter: Terence Bandoian
> Assignee: Joe Bowser
> Priority: Minor
>
> With Visual Studio 2017 configured to use the globally installed Cordova CLI (8.0) instead of the version packaged with Visual Studio, debug APKs generated with cordova-android@7.1.0 are not copied to the project bin directory.
> Debug APKs are written to:
> {code:java}
> platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk
> {code}
> Visual Studio apparently expects APKs to be written to:
> {code:java}
> bin/Android/Debug/android-debug.apk{code}
> This prevents initiatiation of a debug session on a device from within Visual Studio.
> A simple after_build script such as the following:
> {code:java}
> module.exports = function (ctx) {
> if (ctx.opts.platforms.indexOf('android') < 0) {
> return;
> }
> var fs = ctx.requireCordovaModule('fs'),
> path = ctx.requireCordovaModule('path');
> var src = path.join(
> ctx.opts.projectRoot,
> 'platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/app-debug.apk');
> var dst = path.join(
> ctx.opts.projectRoot,
> 'bin/Android/Debug/android-debug.apk');
> fs.copyFileSync(src, dst);
> return 0;
> };
> {code}
> is an effective work-around but the development experience would be improved if it wasn't necessary to expend the extra effort to determine the cause and implement a solution.
> The most recent version of cordova-android that I know of where this is not necessary is 6.3.0. I haven't tested 6.4.0 or 7.0.0.
