## I've got it: i had included a gradle file myself (it was not a plugin!)
which enforces sdk 33...
Thanks for your quick reply! I've found my mistake: Not a long time ago I've
included a file named `build-extras.gradle` in my ressource folder
`www/res/build-extras.gradle` (that I already completely forgot about!),
containing just these 2 lines:
```
ext.cdvSdkVersion=33
ext.cdvCompileSdkVersion=33
```
I've included that in my project within `config.xml` as follows:
```
<platform name="android">
<resource-file src="www/google-services.json"
target="/app/google-services.json" />
<resource-file src="www/res/icon/android/pw_notification.png"
target="app/src/main/res/drawable/pw_notification.png"/>
<resource-file src="www/res/build-extras.gradle"
target="/app/build-extras.gradle"/>
</platform>
```
**SOLUTION: I just need to remove that file** (both the ressource file and
the `<resource-file` reference within config.xml of course)
## Background of why I included that file in the past
Just for the record: I have included that file according to
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/12.x/guide/platforms/android/#configuring-gradle
when trying to fix an issue I had with a plugin
`cordova-background-geolocation` (from transistorsoft) before:
```
1: Task failed with an exception.
-----------
* Where:
Script
'xxx/platforms/android/cordova-background-geolocation/myapp-build.gradle' line:
123
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating script.
> Cannot invoke method split() on null object
* Try:
> Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.
> Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
> Run with --scan to get full insights.
==============================================================================
2: Task failed with an exception.
-----------
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.
> com.android.builder.errors.EvalIssueException: compileSdkVersion is not
specified. Please add it to build.gradle
* Try:
> Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.
> Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
> Run with --scan to get full insights.
```
So I've tried fixing that issue in the past by creating that
`build-extras.gradle` file, but completely forgot about it ...
The actual fix to the compile time exception `Task failed with an exception`
was something completely different: the `myapp-build.gradle' line: 123`
referred to a problem that the `GOOGLE_API_VERSION` definition was missing in
my config.xml. The fix was inserting the following to the config.xml:
```
<plugin name="cordova-background-geolocation"
spec="https://github.com/transistorsoft/cordova-background-geolocation.git#4.16.5";>
<variable name="GOOGLE_API_VERSION" value="20.+" /> <!-- 4.13.0+
requires definition of GOOGLE_API_VERSION here or via CLI param see
https://github.com/transistorsoft/cordova-background-geolocation?tab=readme-ov-file#variable-google_api_version-20
-->
<variable name="HMS_LOCATION_VERSION" value="6.11.0.301" /> <!--
4.13.0+ requires this, prevents "Could not find com.huawei.hms:location:null"
see
https://github.com/transistorsoft/cordova-background-geolocation/issues/2381#issuecomment-1686963433
-->
<variable name="OKHTTP_VERSION" value="3.12.+" />
<variable name="EVENTBUS_VERSION" value="3.3.1" />
<variable name="BACKGROUND_MODE_LOCATION"
value="<string>location</string>" />
</plugin>
```
So that's why I can safely remove my custom `build-extras.gradle` file now
(or just remove its contents).
## (not needed anymore: my responses to your hints)
before finding the solution to this issue, I've provided some answers to
your hints, so I'll just leave them here:
> If you're able to open the project in Android Studio, look at your
AndroidManifest and use the Merged Manifest tab, you'll see the <uses-sdk>
directive which is what the current state of the project will produce on build
after all the merges occur. You'll also see a window of all the sources used to
produce the merged manifest.
I've never worked with Android Studio (except for downloading the SDK),
because I don't have an Android project but just work with cordova. I just
opened the folder of all my Cordova files within Android Studio, but don't know
where to find the AndroidManifest. I've checked
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4191762/how-to-view-androidmanifest-xml-from-apk-file
which describes how to get the Manifest from bundled apks. I have the apk
files too of course, but the android sdk `apkanalyzer` crashed: running `Build`
-> `Analyze APK` -> selecting either debug or release apks -> nothing happens..
somehow it crashed obviously, so I've tried the command line tool directly:
```

looks fine
> If the above looks right/ok, then it would be time to start scanning the
gradle files, especially any custom ones that plugins might be introducing to
see if they were defining a targetSdk or targetSdkVersion (they both do the
same thing, I believe one of them is deprecated).
At first I'll check all files named `*gradle*` which do contain `targetSdk`.
Only 4 hits:
- `node_modules\cordova-android\framework\cordova.gradle` is identical to
file `platforms\android\CordovaLib\cordova.gradle` and they only contain
`targetSdk` here (see
[platforms_android_CordovaLib_cordova.gradle.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16472866/platforms_android_CordovaLib_cordova.gradle.txt)):
```
def doVerifyCordovaConfigForBuild() {
if (cordovaConfig.COMPILE_SDK_VERSION < cordovaConfig.SDK_VERSION) {
println "The \"compileSdkVersion\"
(${cordovaConfig.COMPILE_SDK_VERSION}) should be greater than or equal to the
the \"targetSdkVersion\" (${cordovaConfig.SDK_VERSION})."
}
}
```
- `platforms\android\app\build.gradle` see above
- `node_modules\cordova-android\templates\project\app\build.gradle` is
similar to `platforms\android\app\build.gradle`, but without the plugins (I
showed the differences between the two files above in the "interesting"
sections), see full file
[node_modules_cordova-android_templates_project_app_build.gradle.txt](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/16472613/node_modules_cordova-android_templates_project_app_build.gradle.txt)
