Backward-incompatibility with v2

In order to make cross-platform use of the shared plugin functions easier, some backwardly-incompatible changes have been made to existing API functions.

To avoid breaking existing code which uses the old API syntax, you can continue to use the v2 API by specifying the plugin version when adding it: cordova.plugins.diagnostic@2

v3 contains the following backwardly-incompatible changes:

iOS:

• requestCameraAuthorization() and requestMicrophoneAuthorization(): success callback is now passed a {string} referencing the permissionStatus constants instead of a {boolean}

v2.3.16

• Update Android variant of camera authorization methods to request CAMERA permission in addition to READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE. This is due to permission changes in [email protected].

v2.3.15

• Add checks for Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) and Bluetooth LE Peripheral Mode to Android
• Fix bug causing getMicrophoneAuthorizationStatus() to always return NOT_DETERMINED

v2.3.14

• Add support for checking and requesting microphone access to Android and iOS
• Document current quirks with requestCameraAuthorization() on Android.

v2.3.13

• Fix erroneous reference to invalidPermissions. Fixes #42.
• Document deprecation of registerLocationAuthorizationStatusChangeHandler()

v2.3.12

• Simplify the handling of user response to location authorization request on iOS. Fixes #35.

v2.3.11

• Callback to JS in WebView-agnostic way from iOS native
• Change so only one location permission type is needed more location to be authorized on Android
• Robustify check for UIApplicationOpenSettingsURLString. Fixes #34.
• Update docs regarding requestLocationAuthorization on iOS vs Android. Improves #35 but doesn't entirely fix it.
• Fixed requestCameraAuthorization returning DENIED_ALWAYS when access is granted on Android

v2.3.10

• Update documentation regarding Android API version and legacy API 22 branch

v2.3.9

• Ensure plugin methods return boolean true/false (not integer 0/1). Fixes #28.

v2.3.0

This version updates the plugin to support Android 6 (API 23) runtime permissions.

In order to do this it must depend on libraries only present in API 23+, so you must build using Android SDK Platform v23 or above. To do this you must have Cordova Android platform@5.0.0 or above installed in your project. You can check the currently installed platform versions with the following command:

cordova platform ls

Currently the default version installed (if not specified) is cordova-android@4 which uses API 22, so you need to explicitly specify the version when adding the platform:

cordova platform add [email protected]

Note: Attempting to build with API 22 or below will result in a build error.

You must also make sure your build environment has the following Android libraries installed. In a local build environment, you'd install these via the Android SDK Manager:

• Android Support Library - Rev. 23 or above
• Android Support Repository - Rev. 23 or above
