The issue is started from 1.1.1 (1.1.0 is built successfully for both platforms). Strating from 1.1.1 it's failed for Android (for iOS everything is ok).

[D-Marc1]

This is due to a change that requires you to update your Android SDK. Look at #27 to guide you through. We'll likely add this to README.md pretty soon.

[abardik]

@D-Marc1 Thank you for the refference, I didn't look to the closed issues. So, regarding to PGB, do I need to just change android-targetSdkVersion to 26? What about android-minSdkVersion? Now I have 21 (Android 5).

[D-Marc1]

No, this has nothing to do with that. You have to update your SDK in Android Studio to 26 or higher. You'll also need to make sure your cordova-android is 6.2.3 or higher for your platform

[abardik]

But I use PhoneGap Build (cli 7.0.1, cordova-android 6.2.3), not Android Studio.

[D-Marc1]

That seems like it should be fine. I've never used Phonegap Build, but I assume it would have the correct API level corresponding to it. If you tried it with what you stated, then the only other things I could think of is for you to try changing the targetSDK like you said, or upgrade cordova-android to a higher version if it still doesn't work. Other then that, I'm not really sure what else.

[abardik]

android-targetSDKVersion changed to 26 with no result. I still can use 1.1.0 and wait until PGB upgrade their SDK. Thank you for your help.

[D-Marc1]

That's good at least. Hopefully they'll update it soon.
