We kicked off 2025 with a very successful virtual meetup! Thank you to everyone who attended, and a huge thanks to Bryan Ellis (@erisu) for preparing and hosting the meeting. We had over 100 registrations and more than 60 attendees. The recording is available on YouTube, and you can find the slides here. Bryan provided a recap of 2024, summarizing Cordova releases and milestones, and shared some plans for the current year. As always, we can't provide exact timelines since our work is entirely volunteer-driven. However, if you’d like to help us achieve our goals, you can start contributing at any time! We also have plans for additional meetups to make contributing even more accessible. Stay tuned for more details!

The beginning of a new year is always a good opportunity for a project to reflect on the past year and make plans for the one ahead. As we wrapped up 2024, we had an idea that we’re excited to share: hosting another community meetup for Cordova. This meetup will be an excellent chance to recap the recent releases and highlight some upcoming tasks. 2024 saw some promising contributions from new developers, and we’ve noticed growing interest in our project. This makes the meetup the perfect time to onboard new contributors and strengthen our community. Without more committers, it will become increasingly challenging to maintain a steady release cycle and address the needs of our users. By bringing together experienced contributors and newcomers, we aim to foster collaboration and make future releases smoother. The release process is vital but can often feel overwhelming within the ASF framework. To address this, we are exploring ways to simplify it and provide clea

We are happy to announce that we have just released an update for cordova-plugin-file! [email protected] To upgrade: cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-file cordova plugin add [email protected] Release Highlights This patch fixes an issue with FileEntry.toURL() on iOS devices when the app is hosted through schemes. The intent for this API is to produce a URL that can be used in the DOM, like image tags for example. However, iOS devices always produced file:// URIs which is not usable when the webview is configured to use schemes. Starting with 8.1.3, FileEntry.toURL() will produce an app-scheme URI if the iOS webview is configured to use app schemes, or a
