Android 6.0 Issues

[thari911]

Hey. This plugin is not working on Android 6.0 because of permission issues i guess. Can you please fix this or help me fix my problem.

Thank you.

i think is not a problem of permission. i checked it and there is permission.

It was working fine prior to Android 6.0 after android 6.0 it's not showing
the device accounts.

@davide-redooc in Android 6.0 (API level 23) the permission handling has changed.

GET_ACCOUNTS considered as "Dangerous Permission".

Further readings:

• http://developer.android.com/training/permissions/requesting.html
• http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/security/permissions.html

So no more device access to accounts possible?

The app should ask the user to access the contact list.

When you call ActivityCompat.requestPermissions() the phone will display a new popup to confirm the access.

but it's an android component how can i access on to this element with cordova-ionic?

A ionic app is just some JS. You can call APIs described in README after the ready event.

[mohamedRhaiem]

you can resolve this by changing the sdk version of android in the manifest file from 23 to 22 as below

but I didn't recommend this plugin for production environment.

Hi @mohamedRhaiem, any PR is welcome :)

[actechllc]

using Ionic on IOS 6.0 still not working well.
Is there a solution or a workaround or the permissions issue is blocking the plugin functionality?

Thanks

Hi @asafco4, this plugin does not support iOS...
For Android 6, they changed the permission system so this plugin doesn't seems to work well.
I don't have time to fix it but any PR is welcome :)

I will send a PR sometime in the weekend, but for the time anyone trying to use this plugin, or any other cordova plugin that is not updated to SDK 23, I suggest this cordova plugin. It has quite a big overhead, but you can request runtime permissions with it, so if you call ask for one before using this plugin, it will work fine.
