Important

Intel® XDK has been discontinued. Below are alternative resources for building mobile HTML5 applications with Apache Cordova* software. Intel offers a portfolio of tools to help IoT developers go from rapid prototyping to production. Try Arduino Create* for a streamlined prototyping experience and Intel® System Studio for an all-in-one development tool suite.

Export

Open your project and export via Cordova.

c2_Cordova_Export

Then uncheck “Minify Script”.

c2_Cordova_Export_path

Then check “Use new Intel XDK project format”

c2_Cordova_Export_new_format

and eventually on “Export”. Then go to the export target folder and open the “Cordova Game Plugin.xdk” file with a code editor and go to “cordovaPlugins” (example shown below)

No power to bugs!

The latest beta update (r226) has fixed the issue with the wrong plugin code in the new intel xdk file. So following steps shouldn’t be necessary anymore. If you still get an error while opening the project, contact scirra.

 

Intel XDK

Now switch to Intel XDK. Make sure that you use the latest version (at least Build 3088). Click on “Open an Intel XDK Project” and navigate to the export targed folder and select the “Cordova Game Plugin.xdk” file. Then click open.

It will take a while till Intel XDK has imported the project. Give it some time.

Add Plugins

Now you can add all your plugins in the “Plugin Management” Section.

intel_xdk_import_plugins

Cranberrygame Cordova Plugins

Following plugins have been tested with the latest Intel XDK 3308+ version. Please make sure that you have installed at least Construct r226 (beta). In this version Scirra has fixed the bug with the wrong plugin pathes in the Intel XDK project file.

Cordova AdMob

This plugin doesn’t need any modification. If you open the Intel XDK Project file Intel XDK will import all needed plugins automatically. You can review in the Plugin Management section if it worked.
