Capacitor is not supported.

[alex-steinberg]

Any pointers on how to get Lottie to work with Capacitor 2.0 as a splash screen?

[timbru31]

I haven't tried Capacitor yet. No clue if they support installing native dependencies (lottie-ios and lottie-android) which are required for this plugin to function. Kotlin and Swift are supported out of the box AFAIK, so the hooks for Android are no problem. Since this is a Cordova plugin, it should work, at least the documentation says so.

On a personal side note: Capacitor has a very low priority for me, given that I really dislike Ionic's business model and behavior within the Cordova ecosystem and community. This means: selling an overpriced product made by a non-profit organization while giving nothing back to the original open source projects. This includes delegating their paying customers to Apache's support channels expecting that the maintainers (all unpaid volunteers) fix the bugs, while Ionic makes a sh*ton of 💰💰.

It should have solution

@timbru31 is this capable of being fixed in capacitor?

There is a bug in Capacitor: https://github.com/timbru31/cordova-plugin-lottie-splashscreen/issues/224#issuecomment-646003412

[timbru31]

Good news, I've fixed the capacitor bug and it's included in v3.0.0-alpha.13 and v2.4.6 (at least for iOS)

hi @timbru31,

Is the android part functional too with capacitor ?

[timbru31]

@Jrbebel It should compile, yes. But it's untested from my side. Feel free to open a new issue if things are broken

[Jrbebel]

@timbru31 i will create a ticket for my problem on android

[cemck]

having the same issue on android. Is there any solution to make it work with capacitor?

[TekiLakshmanSundeep]

Having same issue any solution to work in android

[mouse9]

Facing the same issue still. Any Updates?

[rastafan]

Hi, we are facing the same issue. Any news on this? Or a workaround?

[katche70]

Hi, too bad, the project seems to be dead ...

[vovka-s]

I found the solution

timbru31 Thank you folks for the great work! We also never use Ionic-capacitor, always sticking to cordova last 9 years! And sometimes native. Does the lottie work for Android 33? I am trying now.
