Hi, The latest Cordova plugin release [1] has some plugins like camera, contacts, files, geolocation, etc. that require mailto:cordova-android@5.0.0 to work. The latest released version of Cordova-cli does not pin mailto:cordova-android@5.0.0, but instead pins cordova-android@4.1.1.
Scenario - User adds android platform using cordova platform add android - he gets cordova-anrdoid@4.1.1 - User now adds the camera plugin - cordova plugin add camera - gets the version of the camera plugin that works only with cordova-android@5.0 This combination does not work and the scenario breaks. I do understand that there are many folks who are already using cordova-android@5 for marshmallow support, and that we need to release the versions of plugins that support marshmallow. However, these folks already add the cordova-android@5.0 platform by explicitly specifying a version number. Hence, it would be reasonable to expect them to also add the supported plugins by specifying a version number. For folks who still add platforms and plugins without specifying version numbers, I think we should ensure that the scenario continues to work. Fix I think the way to fix this issue would be to still have the verisons of plugins that support cordova-android@5.0 released, but the "latest" should point to the versions that cordova-cli has pinned.
