Cordova Telemetry, what is it and why use it?

Question

started a project with plain Cordova. This message keeps turning up:

You have been opted out of telemetry. To change this, run: cordova telemetry on.
         


        

Answer 1

Cordova telemetry is a part of the cordova cli and collects data about your usage of it. From the Apache Cordova CLI Privacy Policy:

• IP address
• OS type and version
• Node version
• Cordova version
• Commands executed, time of execution and status (success/failure)

You can turn on/off from the cordova cli (cli reference) by:

cordova telemetry on
cordova telemetry off
