Why can't I remove fastclick from my Meteor Cordova App?

Question

I want to get rid of fastclick from my Meteor Cordova App.

I removed the package mobile experience, and fastclick has not been added but for some reason fastclick still exists in the app. In .meteor/versions I see fastclick@1.0.12 added. If I remove it, meteor automatically adds it back.

I also checked all the dependencies of all my meteor packages, and none of them include fastclick. What is going on? Why does fastclick keep getting added to my project.

Here is the list of packages added

meteor-base@1.0.4             # Packages every Meteor app needs to have
#mobile-experience@1.0.4       # Packages for a great mobile UX
mongo@1.1.12                   # The database Meteor supports right now

jquery@1.11.9                  # Helpful client-side library
tracker@1.1.0                 # Meteor's client-side reactive programming library

Answer 1

I created a new project and one by one added each package from my app to the new project.

I was able to track down the package that was responsible for adding fast click.

I had an old atmosphere package in my app that had a dependency on an old version of Meteor platform which required fast click. It had no mention of fastclick in it's package.js file. But if you search the specific Meteor platform dependency I could see that fast click was required.

Be careful with using old atmosphere packages in your Meteor app!
