Converting to a standard Cordova Project

[Ofer Kulka]

Hi There,

I have been trying to develop an app for mobile using Chrome Apps Mobile.

I have an issue now with the chrome.SyncFileSystem API in that it doesn’t sync with Google Drive on mobile.

It works fine for syncing files between the desktop version to my Google Drive account however.

When I attempt pushing the app to mobile using CCA I get the following message:

Permission not recognized by cca: syncFileSystem (ignoring)

I’m not sure if this is an issue that has been fixed or is waiting to get fixed or maybe I’m missing some additional settings required on mobile.

I read that perhaps security/authorization keys might be required for mobile but am unsure.Is that the case?

I saw that the development of Chrome-Mobile-Apps has stopped. Is there a way of converting a CCA project to a standard Corodva Project and if so, would my syncing issues disappear if I do that?

I hope you can shed some light in this issue.

Best

OK

Did you find a solution to this problem? I'm running into the same thing.

Just to be sure it wasn't my code I tracked down syncDemo from the mobile chrome app samples. (https://github.com/MobileChromeApps/mobile-chrome-app-samples).

I get the same error:

$ cca prepare

cca v0.7.4

## Updating plugins based on manifest.json

Permission not recognized by cca: syncFileSystem (ignoring)

## Running Cordova Command: plugin add cordova-plug...@1.0.0

Fetching plugin "cordova-plug...@1.0.0" via npm

Plugin "cordova-plugin-whitelist" already installed on android.

Running command: /android/syncDemo/syncDemo/hooks/before_prepare/cca-check.js /android/syncDemo/syncDemo

## Inject CSP for android

In the example of my project, it will build, but of course without syncFileSystem support.
