Missing required properties: notificationCustomizationOptions error when using MC-Cordova-Plugin on Android

Question

I am implementing the MC-Cordova-Plugin into an app. I am able to create an android build but when running it on a device, I receive this error.

I have set this preference inside the android platform in the config.xml, like the documentation says. I believe it should help set the property that the error is complaining is missing.

<preference name="com.salesforce.marketingcloud.notification_small_icon" value="ic_notification" />

I am running: Cordova 7.1.0, Cordova-Android 7.1.1

Any ideas why this error is occurring? And how can I resolve it?

Answer 1

If the plugin is unable to find ic_notification in your Android application's resources then it will not set the NotificationCustomizationOptions in the MarketingCloudConfig.

If you haven't done so, you will need to package a set of icons in your project that will be added to the Android /res/drawable folders. The name of the icon doesn't have to be is_notification but you need to make sure your config.xml uses the correct name.
