Thanks Darryl, seems I scrolled over the comments a bit too fast . Just installed locally with cordova 7.1.0 and seems to work fine!
Here is a Github repo with what I did: https://github.com/janpio/cordova-android7test There are two branches you can compare: https://github.com/janpio/cordova-android7test/compare/cordova-android@6.4.0...cordova-android@7.0.0 which only shows _how much_ changed and a direct comparison is useless. Better to compare visually by going through the folder structure: https://github.com/janpio/cordova-android7test/tree/cordova-android%406.4.0/platforms/android https://github.com/janpio/cordova-android7test/tree/cordova-android%407.0.0/platforms/android APKs seems to be _much_ smaller now: https://github.com/janpio/cordova-android7test/blob/cordova-android%406.4.0_with_build/platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/debug/android-debug.apk vs. https://github.com/janpio/cordova-android7test/blob/cordova-android%406.4.0_with_build/platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/debug/android-debug.apk Unzipping the APKs shows that mainly the content of /res is much smaller now and cordova.js contains another PLATFORM_VERSION_BUILD_LABEL - everything else is identical. Android Studio is happy with the project and can build it via Gradle. It also shows the Manifest file in the default view now as the structure is recognized. Really nice how painless testing this was. Thanks Joe. Questions and feedback here on the list or better as comments in the PR? -J 2017-11-28 21:43 GMT+01:00 Darryl Pogue <dvpdin...@gmail.com>: > The steps here should work: > https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/pull/389#issuecomment-320067936 > > To recap on email, you'll want to add the android platform via a git > reference: > > cordova platform add > git://github.com/infil00p/cordova-android.git#StudioProjectCompat > > On Tue, Nov 28, 2017 at 12:24 PM, Jan Piotrowski <piotrow...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >> Awesome! >> >> For reference, you are talking about >> https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/pull/389, correct? >> >> What can I / one do to test this locally? >> >> -J >> >> 2017-11-28 19:53 GMT+01:00 Joe Bowser <bows...@gmail.com>: >> > Hey >> > >> > I'm going to merge in StudioProjectCompat into Master today.
