Can't install with Capacitor 3 project

[undergroundcreative]

Hi, thanks for the plugin!

I'm using Capacitor 3.3.3 so this won't install for me. I don't want to risk breaking my app by migrating to Capacitor 4 so I wondered how to get this working with Capacitor 3?

I've tried cloning the repo and changing the dependencies in package.json and package-lock.json to

"@capacitor/android": "^3.3.3", "@capacitor/core": "^3.3.3",

Then "installed" using:

npm install file:///Users/[username]/Apps/[appname]/scrap/capacitor-plugin-android-post-notifications-permission

But no joy when I try to import using:

import {AndroidPostNotificationsPermission} from 'capacitor-plugin-android-post-notifications-permission';

I'm getting:

Cannot find module 'capacitor-plugin-android-post-notifications-permission' or its corresponding type declarations.ts(2307)

In the node_modules folder, I can see an alias to the source folder. I tried deleting this and copying the source folder but still no joy.

Any help would be much appreciated! I'm hoping to stick with Capacitor 3.3.3 for now as I have loads of plugins that might break the app.

Many thanks,

Sean

I'm sorry, but I have no experience with downgrading plugins to make them work wirh capacitor 3. However, I recently upgraded my app from cap 3 to capacitor 4. I also expected lots of problems with the plugins (I use a dozen different plugins) but the upgrade was super simple and smooth as nearly all capacitor plugins have a forked version that supports capacitor 4. The upgrade 3 -> 4 seems to be way smoother than 2 -> 3 used to be.

Thanks, I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade but I've been struggling with a couple of forked plugins.

I've managed to get it to build and run with all plugins except one.

Slightly off-topic, but how would you install this fork/PR?

https://github.com/AppsFlyerSDK/appsflyer-capacitor-plugin/pull/30

I can install it with:

$ npm i appsflyer-capacitor-plugin@github:Ejobs/appsflyer-capacitor-plugin

But when I do npm run build I'm getting:

Cannot find module 'appsflyer-capacitor-plugin' or its corresponding type declarations.

There's no dist folder..

I think it's best to check it out as a git submodule. Create a dependencies folder, then inside this folder:

• git submodule add git@github.com:AppsFlyerSDK/appsflyer-capacitor-plugin.git
• npm install
• npm run build

Then inside your app folder: npm install file:dependencies/appsflyer-capacitor-plugin

Thanks @hermitdemschoenenleben for the code!
