Error: Failed to fetch plugin de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification

See original GitHub issue

Unable to install $ ionic cordova plugin add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification as described on Ionic’s website: http://ionicframework.com/docs/native/local-notifications/

I get the following:

cordova plugin add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification --save ✖ Running command - failed!

[ERROR] Cordova encountered an error. You may get more insight by running the Cordova command above directly.

[ERROR] An error occurred while running cordova plugin add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification --save (exit code 1):

    de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification@^0.8.5 via registry.
    Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is
    incorrect.
    Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

This problem is probably because you use cordova 7. Try use the --nofetch option to get the previous behaviour of the cordova.

cordova plugin add {plugin-name} --nofetch

The cordova 7 uses the npm to install the plugins, and probably your npm is not globally installed, or misconfigured.

I had the same error. macOS: 10.12.6 node: 8.3.0 npm: 5.3.0 cordova: 7.0.1 ionic v1 (but I don’t think this is a problem)

Now it’s working but I had to “clean” my project first:

remove platforms android and ios (ionic cordova platform rm)
remove plugins: cordova-plugin-device, cordova-plugin-app-event, de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification (through cordova plugin rm, npm rm or manually in the nodes_modules and package.json)
install separately: cordova-plugin-device, cordova-plugin-app-event, de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification (ionic cordova plugin add)
install platforms (ionic cordova platform add)

I hope this will work for you too
