Get Started with Hybrid Development - forcedroid create hangs

I am doing the challende for this - got as far as running forcedroid create in GITShell. All seems to go well until it hangs as shown at the end of the Powershell output below - I never get the chance to enter the Callback URL and Consumer Key values. Have no idea how to fix this - it is not finishing the copy of the project ftom the tmp directory, so the www/bootconfig.json file doesn't exist....

Update - finally got an error message after many minutes Cant't make much of it so far:

forcedroid failed
 
Command failed: cordova plugin add https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-CordovaPlugin#v5.1.0 --force
Error: Failed to fetch plugin https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-CordovaPlugin#v5.1.0 via registry.
Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

Hey Keith,

I'm struggling with this as well. It is really frustrating to get the salesforce SDK to run. Were you able to get around this? Cheers!
Keith Price 6Keith Price 6
Hi Kanav Not so far. I am pretty sure it's a version mismatch of some sort, and there may be some relevant discussion on the forums somewhere (I remember seeing something that may be the answer, but haven't been able to find it again). I'm a little surprised at how little help (i.e. none) is forthcoming on this - people re usually all over these questions. I'll be sure to post if I find something. Cheers Keith

Hey Keith,

I was able to get around this issue. Thought I'll update. I tried the following:

a) Downgrade to cordova version 6.4.0. The latest version 7.<something> is not supported by the Salesforce Mobile sdk (I think).
b) Run the following command to increase the Git buffer size:
git config --global http.postBuffer 524288000

Do these two things and then try a fresh 'forcedroid create'. All the best!

Had a different error, but I had to set ANDROID_HOME before running forcehybrid create

set ANDROID_HOME=C:\ installation location \android\sdk
