Note:

If you want to create a new page for developers, you should create it on the Moodle Developer Resource site.


The app starts but it says it cannot connect to any site I try

This is because you need to use a different browser with special flags enabled so cross domains XHR requests are allowed.

In sort, you need to download Chromium from https://download-chromium.appspot.com/ and open it with this command:

chromium --allow-file-access-from-files --disable-web-security 

For additional information please, read: Moodle Mobile development using Chrome or Chromium


I get a blank page in Chrome/Chromium when launching the app in Windows

  • Ensure that you have downloaded the latest master version from github (git checkout master; git pull master; git checkout mybranch; git rebase master)
  • Ensure that gulp-slash is installed: npm install gulp-slash
  • Run gulp again

Some features like IMSCP, resource mini sites, local notifications are not working in the browser

Some features must be tested directly in a mobile device via ionic run android or ionic run ios.

It will require you to install the platform specific SDK or development tools, follow your platform guide here: http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/edge/guide_platforms_index.md.html#Platform%20Guides
