Android Cordova Mode Doesn't Build APK Properly

Describe the bug I have an existing v1 app that builds alright by running quasar build -m cordova -T android but suddenly, the build doesn’t seem to work at all. It’s just displaying the default placeholder.

This file will be auto-generated. Do not edit. Run “quasar dev” or “quasar build” with Cordova mode.

quasar dev -m cordova -T android works. It’s just in the actual building of the production app. It was working alright before, it must’ve broke by recent updates. But I have a habit of running quasar upgrade, I can’t pinpoint yet where it has gone haywire.

Codepen/jsFiddle/Codesandbox (required) https://codepen.quasar.dev. Issue persists on fresh install. quasar create test

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. quasar create test
2. Proceed with defaults
3. quasar mode add cordova
4. cd src-cordova
5. cordova platform add android
6. quasar build -m cordova -T android
7. generate a keystore
8. sign keystore
9. install resulting apk to an android device
10. See unwanted behavior

Expected behavior It should display default quasar template in mobile app form.

Hello,

I am getting this error aswell on a newly installed rig. I tried to launch on my old one and the whole process is working, meaning the application loads correctly. I also precise that the version of my app are the same on both setups.

I’m not using an emulator but my own smartphone that is under Android 8.0.

About my two rigs here are the configuration:

• Both have the same @quasar/app and quasar versions, resp. 1.5.5 and 1.9.1 [EDIT : After running an audit fix of npm’s modules @quasar/app has been updated to 1.9.6]
• Both have the same JDK (8) installed, the one that’s linked in the “Preparation” page of the “Developing Cordova Apps” part
• My old rig’s Gradle version is 5.6, and I tried on my new with 4.3 (the one linked in Quasar’s doc) and the latest (6.5) [EDIT : I also tried 5.6 on my new setup]
• Just to make sure it wasn’t related to this I installed the same versions of the Android SDKs that I had on my previous setup on my new one :
  • Starting from Android 5.0 up to 9.0 for my old rig, and since new versions have come since then I also added them to my new setup.
• My old computer is using an Intel CPU whereas my new one is with AMD. I had a problem with Android Studio about something needing to be done for emulation (Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processors) but since I’m not using emulation I ignored this step. The software launches normally and the installations of the SDKs are successful.
• Regarding PATH variables, here is a screenshot of my new setup which has the same things as the old one except for :
  • Gradle version
  • tools and toolds\bin (absent on my old setup)

The logs displayed in the console from “BUILD SUCCESSFUL in Xs” are also the same, the only difference is that while connected to my new computer my smartphone displays the blank page with the content OP described.

Not having deep knowledge about everything revolving around this I’m kind of at a loss of ideas to solve this… Thanks in advance for reading and any clue of the origin of this issue.
