Runtime Support: Cordova

[xSkyripper]

Hello.

Is it possible to start a js-ipfs daemon properly in a cordova app on android ?

More exactly, I used the script tag in my main html and added the js code for the daemon to start.
The app starts fine, the daemon seems to start too but I have no discovery at all.
Swarm peers returns an empty array and I also cannot find the specific device's ID from a linux machine connected to the same router.

EDIT 1: The linux machine uses go-ipfs and the android device uses js-ipfs. Is this a problem ... ?
EDIT 2: Can 2 js-ipfs browser nodes communicate ? I tested this locally and it seems there is no trace of discovery or connection ... I don't know if I didn't understand completely but what exactly does and doesn't work in this implementation ?

The purpose of this issue is to find a way of implementing an Android app using IPFS. One of the most important things is that I NEED it to work in LANs.

Same suggestion I made for #802 (comment), if you come up with an example of how to do the set up, I'm happy to help you figure out the rest.

It could be a classic "Content-Security-Policy" problem which you could try to solve in cordovas index.html or in the whitelist plugin? I am just wondering because, I am planing to try js-ipfs in Cordova for a project.

Hello @xSkyripper & @DecentraSol,

js-ipfs is being deprecated in favor of Helia. You can learn more about this deprecation and the corresponding migration guide here.

This current bug or feature request will not be addressed in js-ipfs due to its deprecation. We believe the issue has been resolved in Helia though 😊

As a result, we are going to close this issue. If you think we have done this in error, please feel to reopen with any comments in the next week as we will circle back on the reopened issues.

We hope you will consider Helia for your IPFS in JS needs. We look forward to engaging with you more there.

Thanks,
@ipfs/helia-dev
