Steps to reproduce the problem:

NGKW-MAC-266:touch-2.3.0 patt0$ sencha generate app fms ~/Desktop/dev_root/fms
NGKW-MAC-266:touch-2.3.0 patt0$ cd ~/Desktop/dev_root/fms
NGKW-MAC-266:fms patt0$ sencha cordova init

changed cordova.local.properties to cordova.platforms=ios android

NGKW-MAC-266:fms patt0$ sencha app build -run native

The result that was expected:

• normal execution with each package build

The result that occurs instead:

• java exception

HELPFUL INFORMATION

Please see http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...nknown-command.

The Cordova integration in Cmd 4 RC is being replaced in Cmd 4 GA to upgrade to the v3 Cordova API.

[patrick@cloudmatters.co]

Thanks, the problem I describe is slightly different, in any case lets wait for the GA to drop and we will see.

Hey gang,

Apologies all around for this bug, essentially the problem is Java 1.6 does NOT have forEach support. We had been testing on a mac with 1.7 so everything seemed smooth. Cmd 4.0.1 will fix this bug but wont be out for a little while so there are some ways to fix this now.

First you can upgrade to Java 1.7 on your system.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...ads/index.html

Second option is to use PhoneGap instead of Cordova. PhoneGap internally checks for missing platforms whereas in the Cordova Packager we had to do this ourselves, which is where the loop comes in. If you init your app with PhoneGap instead this will not be an issue

Last option is to use the attached cordova-impl.xml file. You will need to rename this file from cordova-impl.xml.txt to just cordova-impl.xml. You then need to replace the cordova-impl here:

/Users/{username}/bin/Sencha/Cmd/4.0.0.203/extensions/cmd-cordova-packager/templates/App/.sencha/app

Then if you have an existing app with this problem you will need to replace the cordova-impl.xml here:

{app}/.sencha/app

[v.stella]

Thanks a lot RossGerbasi, it seems to work with your solution.

Java 1.6 does NOT have forEach support

What you mean?

this?

for (SomeType var : someCollection) { ... }

If so that existed since 1.5 so problem ins't what you said.

Regards.

Yes thank you, the patch worked, I was able to get this working a few days ago, the instructions in the 2.3.0 Cordova guide, make appropriate mention of it.
