examples\cordova-basic does not working

[PhilGauths]

I try examples\cordova-basic.

I build this example and try on my android device. But nothing working.
Home page appears but nothing occurs.

I look inspect and no console debug, no console log and no error can see.

Can you help me? I would like to try cordova on android before purchase.

yes but the log was with ionic app. my client want cordova, this is why i try to compile cordova-basic ignore all log before 13h30

It makes absolutely no difference, Ionic or not. This is a pure Native SDK with a thin layer of Javascript API to talk to it. It really doesn't matter.

This cordova-basic example hasn't been touched in ages. Don't use it. Make your own Cordova Hello World app and drop this code into it, just as shown in the README of the plugin

cordova create foo com.foo.bar Foo
cd foo
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-device
cordova plugin add cordova-background-geolocation-lt

cordova platform add android

ok, this cordova app works and I will test it, thanks again

The pure native background geolocation SDK has no knowledge or care if you're using vanilla Cordova, Ionic with Cordova, React Native, Flutter or a pure native app.

It's the same native SDK.

Tracking behaviour is 100% guaranteed to be identical with an Ionic app vs pure Cordova app.

I see you live in Quebec. Did you see where my Pixel 3a is located?
