["jcesarmobile (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-13780?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16326203#comment-16326203 ] 

jcesarmobile commented on CB-13780:
-----------------------------------

As user you can set the preference with an empty value in the config.xml

As plugin developer, if you want to use latest then just don't use a variable and provide and empty spec.
I don't think it's good to allow users to decide which spec to use as the plugin code might not work with all versions.

 

Anyway, keeping it open, emtpy default might be good for some other use cases

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: cordova-lib

> Please,
> consider the following snippet from plugin.xml
> {code:java}
> <platform name="ios"><preference name="VERSION" default="" /><framework src="Google-Mobile-Ads-SDK" type="podspec" spec="$VERSION" /></platform>
> {code}
> It would be useful if preferences having an empty default are considered valid instead of missing.
> This new behavior lets you use a preference to specify a podspec version and if the preference has empty default, it means the latest version should be installed.
> Today, there is no other way to do it unless CocoaPods changes podfile to let you specify something like +, * or latest to install the latest version of a podspec (instead of omitting the version at all).
