Hi devs,
We are looking at moving from Cordova v2.7.0 to v2.9.x and have some concerns about which Android platforms are still supported. Froyo accounts for 3% of users on the Google Play Store. According to the deprecation policy, Froyo should still be in until v3.0 http://wiki.apache.org/cordova/DeprecationPolicy The issue to remove Commons Codec dependency https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3281 has fix version 3.0 I noticed in v2.9.0 that - the create script no longer uses Commons Codec https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/2.9.x/bin/create.js - org.apache.cordova.FileUtils and CameraLauncher replace codec with android.util.Base64 https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/commit/78efe2a960ba2b320680da1 8b7c0fc20d442c604 This issue also lists fix version 3.0 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-3358 Question 1: Should these changes be in version 2.9.x or 3.0.x? Also are there any other changes you know of that may reduce supported Android versions in v2.9? android.util.Base64 The Android API says android.util.Base64 was added in API level 8 (Froyo 2.2.x) http://developer.android.com/reference/android/util/Base64.html Question 2 : Will Froyo continue to work in v2.9 or not? I've set the target SDK version to 8 to try this out in an emulator but would be great to know if someone has checked on a Froyo device. Thanks Angela
