Hi, the documentation here
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/4.0.0/plugin_ref_spec.md.html#Plugin%20Specification_info_element says that some tasks needed by <framework ...> are not done by plugman. <framework src="extras/android/support/v7/appcompat" custom="false"> But it seems quite easy to do this by calling this command e.g. for Google Play Services: $ android update project --path . --library /home/ignisvulpis/Android/Sdk/extras/google/google_play_services/libproject/google-play-services_lib/ --target android-21 Cordova has all the information that is needed, right?! Or doesn't this work in all cases? My latest custom plugin can not be added to my project because plugman's android.js calls the property-parser which tries to determine the androidSdkDir which fails because it tries to open local.properties which was not created (by cordova). Why doesn't plugman try ANDROID_HOME (too)? I think that using "android update project ..." would always work instead of plugman editing project file directly. Axel ps: There are several unanswered stackoverflow questions regarding Google Play Services and Cordova http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22002424/admob-with-cordova-3-and-google-play-services http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30399421/cordova-testing-google-play-game-services http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25872707/how-to-link-google-play-services-to-cordova-project
