<edit-config> changes in this plugin conflicts with <edit-config> changes in config.xml

[t2wu]

I have this conflict during installation:

Failed to install 'cordova-plugin-webpack': Error: cordova-plugin-webpack cannot be added. changes in this plugin conflicts with changes in config.xml. Conflicts must be resolved before plugin can be added.

My relevant items in config.xml looks like this:

        <edit-config file="AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application">
            <application android:allowBackup="false" />
            <application android:fullBackupContent="false" />
        </edit-config>

How do I solve it?

[kotarella1110]

Removed edit-config element from plugin.xml file, as it is unnecessary.
android:usesCleartextTraffic attribute in application element is true by default.

https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/application-element

android:usesCleartextTraffic
Indicates whether the app intends to use cleartext network traffic, such as cleartext HTTP. The default value is "true".

I just published to npm the plugin v0.3.2.
Please install the latest plugin version.
Thank you.

@t2wu Can I close this?

[kotarella1110]

If the app targets Android 9 or higher, I know that the application element's android:usesCleartextTraffic attribute is false by default.

https://developer.android.com/about/versions/pie/android-9.0-changes-28#tls-enabled

Network TLS enabled by default

If your app targets Android 9 or higher, the isCleartextTrafficPermitted() method returns false by default. If your app needs to enable cleartext for specific domains, you must explicitly set cleartextTrafficPermitted to true for those domains in your app's Network Security Configuration.

net::ERR_CLEARTEXT_NOT_PERMITTED error popup is displayed on Android 9 or higher.
Because I reopen this.

• To resolve this plugin conflict, leave the edit-config element removed from the plugin.xml file.
• If the app targets Android 9 or higher, this plugin users must modify the config.xml file to enable cleartext support.

Hey @t2wu , if the app targets Android 9 or higher:

          <edit-config file="AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application">
              <application android:allowBackup="false" />
              <application android:fullBackupContent="false" />
+             <application android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" />
          </edit-config>

Thank you.

I've been trying to resolve this to no avail. The plugin fails on install because it's trying to add the edit-config on install.
This is my config.xml

<edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <application android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config" /> <application android:allowBackup="false" /> <application android:fullBackupContent="false" /> <application android:usesCleartextTraffic="true" /> </edit-config>

Here is the plugin .xml

@DuaneQ were you able to resolve this issue ?

Yes, by removing the android platform, installing telerik, manually removing the edit-config element then reinstalling android
