6 months ago @shajz I have the same problem. How do you resolve it?

6 months ago @Yura13 I was using xml2js https://www.npmjs.com/package/xml2js which doesn't preserve XML elements order. I switched to https://www.npmjs.com/package/fast-xml-parser.
Here's the code (quick and dirty js) :
// Parse config.xml, edit app & package name and save the changes
import { XMLBuilder, XMLParser } from "fast-xml-parser";
import { readFile, writeFile } from 'fs';
const configFile = "config.xml";
const commonOptions = {
preserveOrder: true,
ignoreAttributes: false,
allowBooleanAttributes: true,
commentPropName: "#comment",
unpairedTags: [
'content',
'access',
'allow-navigation',
'preference',
'allow-intent',
'param',
'hook',
'application',
'custom-preference',
'resource-file',
'icon',
'splash',
'true',
],
}
const parser = new XMLParser({
...commonOptions,
ignoreDeclaration: false,
});
const builder = new XMLBuilder({
...commonOptions,
suppressUnpairedNode: false,
format: true,
});
export function updateConfigFile(overrides) {
readFile(configFile, "utf-8", (err, data) => {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
const result = parser.parse(data);
/** Overrides */
if (overrides?.['android-packageName']) {
result[1][':@']['@_android-packageName'] = overrides['android-packageName'];
}
if (overrides?.['ios-CFBundleIdentifier']) {
result[1][':@']['@_ios-CFBundleIdentifier'] = overrides['ios-CFBundleIdentifier'];
}
if (overrides?.name) {
result[1].widget = result[1].widget.map((obj) => ((obj?.name != null) ? {...obj, name: [ { '#text': overrides.name } ] } : obj));
}
const xml = builder.build(result);
// write updated XML string to a file
writeFile(configFile, xml, { encoding: "utf-8" }, (err) => {
if (err) {
throw err;
}
console.log(`Updated XML is written to a new file.`);
});
});
}You can adapt the overrides part to your usecase, the syntax is weirder than xml2js but the order is preserved with the provided options :)
Saved this as a .mjs file so I could use import syntax safely but you can use require with .js files.
call it like this in your cordova hooks
updateConfigFile({
'android-packageName': 'com.your.package',
'ios-CFBundleIdentifier': 'com.your.package',
name: 'Your app name',
});Sorry I let this up without providing a solution https://xkcd.com/979/ 😅
Bug Report
Problem
What is expected to happen?
The
<privacy-manifest>element must be included in the generatedPrivacyInfo.xcprivacyfile, and the order of its properties must be the same.What does actually happen?
When running
cordova prepare ios, the order of properties is messed up and the mess is exported to the generatedPrivacyInfo.xcprivacyfile.Information
config.xml, before runningcordova prepare iosconfig.xml, after runningcordova prepare iosThis is then outputted to the
PrivacyInfo.xcprivacyfile :The correct output (that works well in XCode) is this one :
Command or Code
