Javascript version mismatch for Tabris framework

Question

Few month ago I gave a try to Tabris, a nice framework for the development of native Android and iOS apps in Javascript. I wanted to get back to it today but my test app has javascript version issues.

First, the QR code scanning on Tabris mobile app side failed with error udefined. I setup the IP address manually and the app got connected to the Tabris server running on my laptop. However, the console on the mobile app complains with: Version mismatch: Javascript module "Tabris" (version 3.5.0) is incompatible with the native tabris platform (version 3.6.0)..

I started by upgrading tabris-cli with npm i -g tabris-cli. It didn't help. Then I uninstalled and reinstalled both the mobile app and tabris-cli. Both are now in version 3.6.0 but the same error remains.

Any idea ?

Answer 1

The Version mismatch error stems from the fact that the native application code and the code of the JavaScript framework of your project are different. If you look at the package.json file of the directory where you are running tabris serve it will probably have the tabris dependency set to 3.5.0

You can update it by running this command:

npm install [email protected] --save
