cordova-android 7.0.0 targets SDK 26, 7.1.x targets SDK 27, so we are good to go.
But this is why I wanted to cherry pick the plugin compatibility fixes on 7.1.x branch, so people update to those versions. And also a new CLI release with 7.1.x pinned will help (but Chris said he planning on doing it) So we are good and can be even better by doing the 2 things mentioned (cherry pick and new CLI release) BTW, that's for app updates, for new apps it already started the 1st of August. 2018-08-02 12:41 GMT+02:00 Jan Piotrowski <piotrow...@gmail.com>: > Anything we should do about that for Cordova Android or the default Cordova > project? > What should other projects using Cordova Android do?
