[jira] [Commented] (CB-5262) Adding config entries in plugin.xml for modifying .plist file results in whitespace entries for NSMainNibFile keys leading to App crashing

["Jan-Pieter van den Heuvel (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-5262?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13822467#comment-13822467 ] 

Jan-Pieter van den Heuvel commented on CB-5262:
-----------------------------------------------

Fixing this bug is quite important for us at [Plot|http://www.plotprojects.com] since we provide a Phonegap plugin for Location Based Notifications which requires the location background mode. Currently our users must manually add it to the .plist file every time they build their app (since the .plist file gets overridden during each build). We might take a stab at it ourselves but need some guidance. Where should this be fixed in the Phonegap code base and how would you estimate the amount of work involved?

>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: iOS, Plugman
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
>         Environment: MacOSX
>            Reporter: tex

> with the following in plugin.xml :
> {code:xml}
> <platform name="ios">
>     <config-file target="*-Info.plist" parent="UIBackgroundModes">
>         <array>
>            <string>location</string>
>          </array>
>     </config-file>        
> </platform>
> {code}
> we get whitespaces in the generated info.plist :
> {code:xml}
> <key>NSMainNibFile</key>
> <string>
> </string>
> {code}
> the app compile but crash at runtime as it looking at a non existing .nib file.
> the .plist can be modified manualy, allowing correct building, but this is a real major issue for automated compiling (eg: phonegap build)
> this issue seems to be related to https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-4731 but is more important as it lead to app crashing
