Cordova Telemetry, what is it and why use it?
CordovaCordova Problem Overview
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.

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
