This is working for me on Firefox and in the iOS app, but not on Android.
I can reproduce this on my real Android phone but not in the Android emulator. Yay. I'm trying to figure out how to get useful logs or web inspector from capacitor on the android device. @hodlbod is this a problem you have solved already?
Yeah, if you connect your phone via usb you can use it as a target from android studio and access logcat from there. If you update the server setting capacitor.config.js you can enable hot-ish reloading too
I wasn't able to root cause this today. Got caught in js dependency purgatory (@hodlbod have you ever needed to
npm i -g xmlparser? I wonder if it should be in the setup instructions).The main things I learned:
No, why did you need to do that?
Sounds like we might need to request clipboard access and/or add capabilities.
I installed some capacitor clipboard package and it bricked
npx cap syncwhich started complaining about missing xml parser. I tried uninstalling the new package, explicitly specifying xmlparser as a devDependency, wiping packages, hoisting packages, in the end globally installing xmlparser is what fixed it 🤷@hodlbod is this still open to work on?
Yep, just assigned you, thanks!
Sure, will get to it asap!
@hodlbod Is there an explicit "paste icon" you want me to add to the UI, or are you ok with this handling the Android system "Paste" pop-over and standard keyboard inputs? The issue just says "Ctrl+V clipboard Image pasting...
Let's just do system standard paste (long-press > paste)
