cordova-plugin-braintree not working

[rgolea]

Hi there!

I would love to have an option to pay inside capacitor. I found in the Ionic docs a plugin called cordova-plugin-braintree that uses a @ionic-native/braintree interface.

For some reason, when building the project on iOS, it doesn't seem to find some .h files, even when I link the entire framework.

Any ideas? Thank you.

Looks like the plugin's .frameworks files are not compatible with CocoaPods for some reason (maybe because they are built with Carthage).
The plugin should be updated to get the libraries from CocoaPods instead of providing the .framework files, or should build them in a different way.

I don't think that will happen as current npm plugin is not maintained anymore, the github page points to a fork, which doesn't seem to be maintained neither and doesn't even work on cordova (it's a different problem, but still, doesn't work).
I've added it to the incompatible plugin list that is skipped on update so at least it doesn't cause build issues #1424

Great! @jcesarmobile Thanks a lot! Do we have on the capacitor page a page where we have a list of incompatible cordova plugins? Or just a reference to an issue?
I believe it would come in handy. Or just adding incompatibility to the ionic-native docs.

here are the ones that cause build issues

Some other plugins that don't work but might not cause build issues are tagged with the known incompatible cordova plugin, you can check all by clicking this issue label or here https://github.com/ionic-team/capacitor/issues?q=label%3A%22known+incompatible+cordova+plugin%22+is%3Aclosed
