Install specific version of Cordova CLI in Visual Studio 2017

Question

I need to do some updates to a Cordova app created using Visual Studio 2017 Tools for Apache Cordova (TACO).

The Cordova CLI version listed in the config.xml file is

Answer 1

I had the same error, follow this steps :

1- If not installed yet, install Node

2- Install the latest version of cordova or anyother:

npm install -g cordova

3- Install taco-cli:

npm install -g taco-cli

4- Configure taco-cli :

taco remote add ios

(respond a few question, MAC IP, Port,etc...)

5- in your root project add or edit a file named "taco.json", add inside :

{
    "cordova-cli": "7.1.0"
}

Where 7.1.0 correspond to your cordova version (cordova --v)

6- Try to emulate on your MAC:

taco emulate ios

You will maybe have an error about platform. Ignore it

7- Close then open Visual Studio

8- On Visual Studio open the config.xml UI EDITOR and change the toolset name with

Global cordova

9- Build using Visual Studio.

If it doesn't work, please let me know
