PhoneGap 3 plugin: exec() call to unknown plugin "..."

define your plugin in "res/xml/config.xml"

find these lines in the file

<feature name="App">        <param name="android-package" value="org.apache.cordova.App" /></feature>

and append these right after:

<feature name="MyPluginName">        <param name="android-package" value="com.phonegap.plugins.plugin.class" /></feature>

replace the dummy names (MyPluginName, plugins.plugin.class, etc) with the actual names. This works for me when I was getting this error:

exec() call to unknown plugin : MyPluginName

I am all of a sudden getting the same issue with my phone gap build (2.6). Same exact code worked prior so it must be a build issue.

Did you tried to open your apk and see if config.xml is included (there is where plugins are defined).

On Android Studio 1.0.1 (running on Mac OS 10.9.5) + Cordova 4.2.0, I fixed a similar problem ("exec() call to unknown plugin") as follow:

it happened that the content of the tag:

<feature name="MyPluginName"><param name="android-package" value="com.phonegap.plugins.plugin.class" /></feature>

Under YourCordovaProjectName/config.xml was not duplicated under YourCordovaProjectName/platforms/android/res/xml/config.xml

I had to alter the file config.xml under YourCordovaProjectName/platforms/android/res/xml/ and to add the tag:

    <feature name="MyPluginName">    <param name="android-package" value="com.phonegap.plugins.plugin.class" />    </feature>

Then it worked.

I will also add that I've experienced the same problem with IOS, I had to enter manually:

<feature name="MyPluginName"><param name="ios-package" value="com.phonegap.plugins.plugin.class" /></feature>

In the file config.xml under the folder YourCordovaProjectName/platforms/ios/YourCordovaProjectName

Hopefully that will be fixed in the future and the content of YourCordovaProjectName/config.xml will correctly be reflected in the config.xml files that are under each specific platforms (it used to worked correctly for Android few months ago).
