bug: URL blocked by whitelist on Android

[asuwend1]

Type: bug

Platform: android 4.4 webview

My environment: OS X Yosemite, cordova 5.0.0, ionic 1.3.20. I use Firebase to for Facebook Authentication service. In IOS things work fine, but in Android, during Facebook authentication, I got: "W/SystemWebViewClient( 1556): URL blocked by whitelist: https://auth.firebase.com/v2/intense-torch-3742/auth/session?&requestId=whdi3macji4xffd91e2qxh96ohwamqsu380f&requestKey=XnWG8sRju97nlg4RM2pZQofpyLu933FI&v=js-2.2.4&transport=json&suppress_status_codes=true". In my config.xml: "
". Also tried "". I have InAppBrowser plugin installed too. Any thought why I'm seeing the URL was blocked where it should not according to config.xml? I have also checked all other config.xml files and they look good to me - they allow everything.

With the updated version of cordova-android, you now need to include the cordova-whitelist-plugin.

https://github.com/apache/cordova-mobile-spec/tree/master/cordova-plugin-whitelist

Try adding that to your project

+1 thanks for the help. I needed the whitelist plugin to run my cordova app in android studio. Google search brought me here.

You need to upgrade to Cordova CLI 5.0 to get Cordova-android 4.0.

I'm getting this error message:
"Failed to install 'cordova-plugin-whitelist':CordovaError: Plugin doesn't support this project's cordova-android version. cordova-android: 3.7.1, failed version requirement: >=4.0.0-dev"
My current version is 3.7.1 but when I run 'cordova platform update android', it just says "Android project is now at version 3.7.1". How do I upgrade to the correct version to use this plugin? Thanks!

Thanks Mike, I actually found that this worked also:
"cordova platform update android@4.0.0"

Hi,

This plugin requires cordova ios 4.0.0 but i can only find cordova ios 3.8.0
How can I do ?

Thank you for your help

[8ozStudios]

@julienwikart Look one comment above yours - try running "cordova platform update android@4.0.0" from the command line.

[julienwikart]

Unfortunately my question was regarding iOS 4.0.0 and not android...

But I found the solution :
cordova platform add ios@4.0.x --usegit

[mhartington]

cordova ios and cordova android both have separate release cycles. For cordova-ios, the whitelist plugin shouldn't do anything, sense it's not setup for it.

how to solve the URL blocked whitelist issue while call weather api. Please help me to solve this issuse

[owgee]

Thanks :)

How did you configure the whitelist plugin to allow the access? Did you use allow-intent or allow-navigation? I can't get it to work with calling firebase server for authentication.

[santekotturi]

@rszczypka all I had to do was add the plugin and the error was gone. No configuration, didn't even have to call or do anything with the plugin.

this post provides an html header you can if adding the plugin isnt working for you:

it seems a bit too open to allow "everything" but maybe helps get it working?

I am working on meteor. I am also facing problem of URL blocked by whitelist I installed "https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-whitelist" plugin. But it is giving me error "Skipping downloading new version because the Cordova platform version or plugin versions have changed and are potentially incompatible". I had even tried different viresions also.

Please tell how to resolve this issue

[mrlowe]

@prachi708 meteor is locked to a particular version of cordova. Just install a specific version of whitelist with something like:

meteor add cordova:cordova-plugin-whitelist@1.3.3

If you're using an older version of meteor (locked to an older version of cordova) you may need to play with the whitelist versions or update meteor.
