[jira] [Commented] (CB-13932) APK Not Copied to Visual Studio bin Directory

["Jan Piotrowski (Sujan) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13932?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16381999#comment-16381999 ] 

Jan Piotrowski (Sujan) commented on CB-13932:
---------------------------------------------

I don't think this is really a bug in cordova-android, probably more in the Cordova integration in Visual Studio that didn't keep up with the changes done in cordova-android. Is there a public repository for that one?

> cordova-android@7.1.0
> Visual Studio 2017
> Windows 10

> 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.
