Hello World,
As usually the latest update screws everything over.... Sigh, how comes it looks like every time things work fine and people get accustomed to them you guys do something to mess it all up?! :(
Here's a screenshot below, can anyone please help me get those plugins to work so I can publish my game? I'm using cordova cli version 5.1.1, crosswalk runtime embedded 15, and building with crosswalk for android.
If you need anymore info or screenshots let me know.
Thank you.

The cordova-plugin-game worked Anusha, the rest of them give me the error below when I try to fetch them.
Olso, in case you eventually manage to help me fetch them, is there a way that I can get intelxdk to import the exact versions that I have in my game, instead of the latest? I trust those versions, they worked fine for me before, so I'd rather not change them.
Absolutely! For featured plugins, after you add them, click on the drop down and edit version number:
You can specify the version you want to import when you do the import for third party plugins.
The process.exit() error is most likely because of a XDK Drive location issue in the Plugin Manager. Can you make sure your project directory is in the same drive as your XDK installation (most likely C:\). This is a bug with the latest release that we are working on. A fix will be available soon. This is assuming you are on a Windows machine.
@vikings,
This is what I got from your build log:
It looks like the Eddy Verbruggen plugin. I noticed that cranberrygame has contributed to the Eddy Verbruggen social share plugin (you can see that in cranberrygame's github page - https://github.com/cranberrygame). So that was probably the one you got in the zip archive he gave you.
Intel XDK automatically adds the status bar plugin if you created a new project from a sample or template in the latest release (v2496). Projects created in older versions will not have the status bar plugin. If you have a local copy of the status bar plugin you are referring to, you can import it as a local plugin. Just place it in your project directory. Outside the 'plugins' or 'WWW' directory and import it as a local plugin.
Another way to confirm if the Eddy Verbruggen social share plugin is the same as the one cranberrygame gave you is to check if the plugin IDs match.
K, well I followed your instructions this morning Anusha, all the plugins fetched successfully from what I can tell(they appear both in the list in intelxdk and on the disk in my projects "plugins" folder), but when I try to build I get the exact same error, as you can see from the screenshot at the end of the post.... :((((((((((((((((((((
Ok, while you try to come up with another solution let me tell you about some of the habbits I have formed using intelxdk, and the reasons why I do them. I don't think any of these are causing my issues because these steps have worked fine for me untill now, but you never know....
So, here are some of the steps I follow when creating a project:
1. After I choose it's name and the project gets created successfully, I close intelxdk, then I copy my project files in the www folder(overwriteing the index.html), then I open intelxdk again.
Reason: I wanna make sure that all the files I copied are loaded correctly in intelxdk and I'm afraid that if I leave intelxdk open while I copy them it won't detect some of the changes.
2. After 1 is done I go to the develop tab, I expand the www there, I select the intel.config.additions.xml(so the one from inside the www folder which was generated by the program in which I created&exported my game). I then copy & delete everything from that .xml, then I select the intel.config.additions.xml from outside the www folder(so this one would be the one intelxdk generates), I delete everything from this xml, and I paste what I copied from the other xml.
Reason: When we where just starting to use intelxml about 1-2 years ago and trying to figure all this stuff out, me and a friend of mine ran into an issue where after adding another plugin, building and testing the game on an android device we noticed that even plugins/features that worked before don't work anymore. So we started troubleshooting, tried all kinds of different things and the conclusion we came to is that the "program"(or the android os, whichever one it is/whatever you call it) first reads the .xml from within the www folder, however if it encounters any issues/errors there it stops reading it, and it starts reading the .xml folder outside the www folder; so if that one is empty you're screwed. So by having everything directly in that xml everything worked fine from that point on.
3. After 2 is done I delete the line/entry about the phonegap game plugin, because it's broken. I then paste the following to replace it:
<intelxdk:plugin intelxdk:name="https://github.com/cranberrygame/com.cranberrygame.phonegap.plugin.game#544946ee7789ef539f7efe02ea6b12d03b1b8c62" intelxdk:value="https://github.com/cranberrygame/com.cranberrygame.phonegap.plugin.game#45191b3570a2ae4dc9646685b65f4a7994ed9952" >
<intelxdk:param intelxdk:name='APP_ID' intelxdk:value='YOUR_GOOGLE_PLAY_GAME_APP_ID' />
</intelxdk:plugin>
and then I copy&paste my Id from the googleplay console in the ' ' where it says YOUR_GOOGLE_PLAY_GAME_APP_ID. Then I click file>save all.
Reason: Like I said the entry the plugin adds for itself is broken for some reason, I think it duplicates part of itself that shouldn't be there. So I have to replace it with that piece of code that is correct. Now how this gets along with the new way in which intelxdk does things, where I have to add this plugin manually(before I didn't need to do that) and where after I add it manually I get a little alert box where I have to enter that ID again(remember I already inserted the ID in the code from the .xml); is anybodys guess....
And those are the main things. Other additional things that I don't think matter, I always leave my project unsigned in intelxdk, I sign all my apks manually later. And for the new option from build settings, "whitelist" I leave it default which has "W3C Widget Acess" selected, is that ok?
Sorry for sooo much text, I just wanna be thorough. If you need clarification on what I've said above, or need any additional info like logs, screens, etc. let me know. I appreciate the help everyone, thank you very much.
Anyway here's the error again, looks exactly the same to me, but what do I know....
