intelxdk:crosswalk version="18"

[Andrea_P_1]

Hello,

i'm trying to build a project *without* crosswalk. However i've a strange issue. While my other projects are dubugged correctly this project doesn't start the debug because the file intelxdk.config.android.app.xml shows me that the project should use crosswalk version 18

<intelxdk:crosswalk version="18"/>

I've tried to change it manually to 16, but once i start "Debug" the file is changed back to 18. I don't find a way to force a different value. Also changing the version on Build Settings tab doesn't cure the problem. I've tried a different CLI version, Enable or Disable Crosswalk using a different version but no luck. 

Who is creating that file?

Thank you

Change your CW version to 17 in the Build Settings. There is a problem with Debug modules (built by the Debug tab) and Crosswalk 18.

maybe i was not clear:

1) I'm not using CrossWalk at all (and i don't want to use it)
2) if i change CrossWalk version (to 17 for example) and enable it i have this error:

• Building a Cordova 5.4.1 Project Preview application with Crosswalk 17.
• Using platform cordova-android 5.0.0.
• The application name is "AP Debug x17 CralItalia2000"

• Error: Plugin PayPalMobile cannot be added. The plugin contains Gradle scripts.

If i reenable it (with version 17 in the combobox) the project is already created with version 18 and cannoy be build

Your problem is due to these two lines:

• Error: Plugin CardIO cannot be added. The plugin contains Gradle scripts.
• Error: Plugin PayPalMobile cannot be added. The plugin contains Gradle scripts.

The XDK build system does not work with plugins that include Gradle scripts, for security reasons. There is one exception, which is explained in this FAQ > https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/faqs/cordova#push-plugin-fix <

Also, the Debug tab ALWAYS uses Crosswalk, you cannot build a debug module without Crosswalk. If you want to debug an app without Crosswalk you must user remote CDT > https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/docs/intel-xdk-debug-and-test-overview#RemoteChromeDevTools <

i've tried to change the plugin as the guide says because it "seems" that gradle script does nothing but when i try to compile the project there is a problem due compilation errors:

Can you try to add this plugin to one of you mantain until you didn't find a way to compile plugins with Gradle? It will be useful for a lot of people.

The gradle script always does something useful, so removing it is only viable if the gradle script that you removed was equivalent to the one described in the FAQ (https://software.intel.com/en-us/xdk/faqs/cordova#push-plugin-fix). If the gradle script you removed is NOT equivalent to that scenario, removing it will not work.

Some plugin offer a gradle-free version, for instance I use One signal PUSH sdk plugin and there's a version specially made for phonegap/intel XDK without gradle.
