build failed when [email protected] is installed

[iwan-uschka]

I finally got this working by installing and configuring the plugin within the config.xml like this:

<plugin name="cordova-android-support-gradle-release" spec="cordova_plugins/cordova-android-support-gradle-release" version-comment-only="1.0.0">
  <variable name="ANDROID_SUPPORT_VERSION" value="25.+"/>
</plugin>

Thanks for that hint and thank you in general for your work on these great plugins.

In this case you could tell me that "25.+" is the version to define here. What about other plugins. Is there a way to automatically find the correct version of all plugins? Should it be the smallest?

Is it a good idea to install cordova-android-support-gradle-release and cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release anyway to be prepared for version clashes?

[dpa99c]

The latest release version of the support library is v26, so [email protected] has been bumped to point at this by default, whereas [email protected] is set to v25.

However, v1.0.0 also adds the ability to specify a version using a plugin variable, so in your case you probably want:

cordova plugin add cordova-android-support-gradle-release --variable ANDROID_SUPPORT_VERSION=25.+

This is up to you, but I would only install them if they are necessary to fix a version clash - no point in installing plugins you don't need.

Good point :)

ok so whats the final solution here? what can i use..
i have the problem that i got the same build error before i installed this plugin. i have the diagnostic plugin too. should i use a custom version or the default version to fix my problem

[dpa99c]

@cagdas88 did you install this plugin with ANDROID_SUPPORT_VERSION=25.+?

Also, depends which other plugins you have installed in the project: if you have others which use Gradle classes (rather than strings) such as cordova-plugin-fcm or phonegap-plugin-push then this plugin is unable to override those versions and won't be of help (see here)

@iwan-uschka

You, sir, are the man, I have been trying to figure out my issue for a few weeks now!

I have diagnostic and firebase
what should I do ?

I have this android:keyboardNavigationCluster error as well when including
<plugin name="cordova.plugins.diagnostic" spec="~3.7.1" source="npm" />

when I add

 <plugin name="cordova-android-support-gradle-release" spec="cordova_plugins/cordova-android-support-gradle-release" version-comment-only="1.0.0">
          <variable name="ANDROID_SUPPORT_VERSION" value="25.+"/>
    </plugin>

I have this error

I was getting this error

/platforms/android/build/intermediates/res/merged/debug/values-v26/values-v26.xml:15: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'android:keyboardNavigationCluster'.

I just downgrade these two plugins to resolve build fail issue

cordova.plugins.diagnostic from @4.x to @3.6.7
cordova-android-support-gradle-release from @1.4.x to @1.0.0
with ANDROID_SUPPORT_VERSION=v25.+
