Description

CB-8674 modified cordova-js-src/platform.js to capture the application's onactivated event, and record the details in the platform.activationContext instance.

Unfortunately, CB-8674 covers only a few of the 12 types of UWP activation events. As an example, if an app is activated by a Cortana voice command, the details are missed. See here for more details: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br212679.aspx

The proposed fix is to change:

var activationHandler = function (e) {
var args = e.detail.arguments;
var actType = e.detail.type;
platform.activationContext =

{ type: actType, args: args }

;
cordova.fireDocumentEvent('activated', platform.activationContext, true);
};

To be:

var activationHandler = function (e)

{ platform.activationContext = utils.clone(e.detail); platform.activationContext.args = e.detail.arguments; // Backwards compatibility cordova.fireDocumentEvent('activated', platform.activationContext, true); }

;

This also means that platform.js should require("cordova/utils")
