Changing the Cordova version used by Hybrid Apps in Visual Studio 2013

ByMarius Bughiu November 8, 2014November 5, 2023

Updating the Cordova version requires you to edit the platforms.js file found in:

%APPDATA%\Roaming\npm\node_modules\vs-mda\node_modules\cordova\node_modules\cord‌ova-lib\src\cordova

You can change the version individually for each platform, tho I suggest you use the same version for all.
Also, it might be the case you’re looking to update only because of the Google Play warning regarding the high severity cross-application scripting (XAS) vulnerability found in Cordova 3.5.0. If so here you have the file updated to point to version 3.5.1 which fixes the mentioned vulnerability: platforms.js.

Note: In case you are using CTP 1 of the Hybrid Apps the path will be different:
%APPDATA%\npm\node_modules\vs-mda\node_modules\cordova\

Xamarin Startup Tracing for Android

ByMarius Bughiu April 4, 2020November 5, 2023

Your app’s startup time matters because it’s the first impression that the user gets to make about it’s performance. It doesn’t matter what you promise me if it takes 10 seconds to load the app each time I try and use it. I might even uninstall it thinking it doesn’t actually work. And with Xamarin…
