Installation Issue

[ShareNoMimosa]

There seems to be a problem with the cordova-plugin-geolocation dependency.
I tried reinstalling the plugin and building the sample app and received the following error message:

SampleApp rm -rf platforms/android

What version of Cordova are you using?

It probably has something to do with the PR I accepted
#173

[ShareNoMimosa]

Hi @christocracy

Today I tried to add this repo into my project, and I got the same error with topic owner.
My cordova version is 4.3.0

Hope you fix this soon

[christocracy]

It seems I naively accepted a pull request upgrading the dependencies to
new Cordova 5 npm style. If you upgrade to Cordova 5, it'll work

Hi @christocracy

I have one more question, if I still want to use this repo with cordova 4.3.0, what I have to do?

Because I've just realized that cordova 5.0 break my existing code, and now I don't have enough time to fix every error

Thank you very much

I've tagged the version before implementing the new Cordova 5-style <dependency />

Simply install the plugin by appending #cordova-4.x to the plugin url:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/christocracy/cordova-plugin-background-geolocation.git#cordova-4.x

FYI: Cordova 5 has migrated to npm for plugin-hosting, changing the naming convention of cordova plugins:

OLD (pre Cordova 5): org.apache.cordova.geolocation
NEW (Cordova 5+): cordova-plugin-geolocation

Since my plugin has 2 dependencies, the tag-branch #cordova-4.x uses this format:

<dependency id="org.apache.cordova.geolocation" />
 <dependency id="org.apache.cordova.dialogs" />

And #master branch uses new Cordova 5 style:

<dependency id="cordova-plugin-geolocation" />
<dependency id="cordova-plugin-dialogs" />
