Installation workarounds

Braintree iOS SDK

The Braintree SDK could be installed with CocoaPods, however one of the frameworks crashes at initialization. The error is pretty uninformative, I couldn't figure out what happens. However, when installing the frameworks manually from the "xcframework" release available on github, it works.

Instead of including 44MB into the project, the plugin contains a hook in scripts/iosBeforeInstall.js that downloads and extracts the required xcframework files from github.

Braintree iOS Drop In SDK

For iOS, the recommended procedure for installing the Braintree Drop In SDK is to use either:

  • the Swift Package Manager, which isn't yet supported by Cordova.
  • CocoaPods, which has some issues when used with custom build directories (which is the case with Cordova).
    • Unfortunately this issue occurs when installing Braintree Drop In SDK.

To solve this, I resorted in including the source code for Braintree Drop In (license is MIT). All source files are listed in the plugin.xml file. The list is long, so there's a helper script to generate this section of XML: gen-ios-source-files.sh. It also adds a custom compilation argument to those files so the "imports" work.

To update the Braintree Drop In SDK:

  1. Copy in src/ios/BraintreeDropIn, from the braintree-ios-drop-in github repository.
  2. Move the resource bundle containing localization strings, from src/ios/BraintreeDropIn/Resources into src/ios/BraintreeDropIn-Resources.bundle/.

If the list of source files has changed: use the gen-ios-source-files.sh files to update the list of source files in plugin.xml.
