Ionic Package Hooks

The hooks in this repository are hooks that you can run during the packaging of your app. Ionic Package uses Cordova, so these are just standard Cordova Hooks that we've selected/accepted.

To run these hooks in Ionic Package, just put a <hook /> tag in your config.xml, like this:

<hook type="after_prepare" src="package-hooks/add_platform_class.js" />

That's it! Package will run that hook on the server.

Re-enable HTTP for iOS9

This is probably one of the main reasons you're here, so this is how you do that:

Put the following in your config.xml:

<hook type="after_prepare" src="package-hooks/ios9_allow_http.sh" />

That's it, actually. Run ionic package build ios ... again and your binary should allow HTTP.

Use these hooks locally

You don't need to download these hooks locally, but local builds won't work without them.

To use them locally, you can clone the repository within your Ionic App, and Cordova will pick up your <hook /> tags within config.xml automatically.

Within your app directory:

$ git clone https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-package-hooks.git ./package-hooks

Hooks

These are the available hooks. The type is what you put in type of your <hook /> tag, unless you want to run the hook at a different stage (not recommended). If you want a hook to run before another one, reorder the <hook /> tags.
