Cordova Telemetry, what is it and why use it?

Cordova

Cordova 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.

Did a short search on this, but find mostly error messages. Can some one enlighten me on what this Cordova Telemetry is and what is its use?

Solution 1 - Cordova

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

Solution 2 - Cordova

cordova telemetry collects developer data of the usage of cordova for the cordova dev-team. The data is shown here:

It is NOT collecting user data, just developer data, like which version of cordova you are using.
