robert-crowell-gdit commented on CB-11753:
------------------------------------------
1. I don't know how to "add the console log" to Visual Studio as you request,
because I'm not using Visual Studio like that. I'm using the Apache Cordova CLI
as recommended on (
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/cli/index.html#build-the-app ),
section to build my application with the following command "cordova build
windows -- --appx=8.1-win --archs=x64". Then I install it on the 8.1 Win
Tablet to test it, when it attempts to check for a network connection using the
Apache Cordova network plugin ("cordova-plugin-network-information"), in
"NetworkInfoProxy.js" line 27 "var winNetConn =
Windows.Networking.Connectivity;", it blows up with "Windows is not defined"...
that led me to believe that the WinJS (the windows object itself as my limited
understanding of this is, Sorry.. I'm new) was not loaded properly..
especially after seeing the navigator.appVersion string that I found prior.
Now, I must apologize, I may have made a serious mistake.. I was able to add a
text field to the front of my cordova application, and then use javascript to
populate it with the the line: "$('#p1_app').val( navigator.appVersion );"
That method provides a DIFFERENT value from previously reported value above
that lacked the MSAppHost entry. NOW, the code reports this value!!..
"5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; Win64; x64; Trident/7.0; .NET4.0E; .NET4.0C; .NET CLR
3.5.30729; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.30729; Tablet PC 2.0;
MSAppHost/2.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko",
which I think is the one you wanted from Visual Studio, earlier...
I'm sorry, as you can see the "MSAppHost" entry *IS* in that string, but it
wasn't when I ran it prior from the WindowsApps directory / index.html file on
the device itself to try and discover my problem. However that doesn't change
the fact that it still appears that WinJS isn't loaded correctly, since the
network code still cannot use the "Windows" object.. so, now I'm NOT sure
what the problem actually is. I guess, maybe, this problem should instead be
reported against the "cordova-plugin-network-information" plugin.. however,
the network code is reporting is that it's unable to use the "Windows.x" object
on the Win8.1 build, which still makes me think it's a deeper problem than the
network code itself.
2. This is a "side loaded" app, so the Windows store is not an issue. Due to
security concerns, I don't believe we will be allowed to use the Windows app
store.
3. I'm very sorry for the confusion.. I don't know if the problem is in on
Win 8.1, platform.js not loading WinJS properly, or an issue with
"cordova-plugin-network-information" correctly referencing the "Windows"
object.. I just don't know.
Thank you.

> Key: CB-11753
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-11753
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: Bug
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Components: Windows
> Affects Versions: 4.4.2
> Environment: Windows 8.1 Pro Dell Tablet x64 bit
> Reporter: robert-crowell-gdit
> Assignee: Vladimir Kotikov
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: cordova, easyfix, triaged, windows
>
> In Apache Cordova (v6.3.1) WINDOWS platform code (v4.5.0-dev), due to Issue
> CB-10480 (
> https://github.com/apache/cordova-windows/commit/d783f2073430492e59d99009b30411fb8e8e897a
> ) in platform.js the final "else" clause was removed
> " // windows 8.0 + IE 10
> - scriptElem.src = "//Microsoft.WinJS.1.0/js/base.js";",
> since Windows 8.0 code was removed.
> Now, the Windows 8.1. Pro Dell Tablet I'm testing with (Internet Explorer
> 11), is reporting the variable navigator.appVersion as "5.0 (Windows NT 6.3;
> Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116
> Safari/537.36". Due to that value, therefore Apache Cordova will never load
> the WinJS stuff because it falls thru the logic entirely..
> The end results is that the application crashes when anything WinJS related
> is accessed by code (when I try to do a network check, it will obviously
> fail), since WinJS never loaded properly.
> Recommend having one basic final "else" clause that will either 1. Load a
> very basic version to provide SOME functionality, or 2) Provide some form of
> loading error feedback. But that's just my own opinion..
> Thanks for all the hard work and great software.
