minSdkVersion Breaking

[eeerrrttty]

I'm trying to add the cordova-plugin-facebook4 plugin on my app, everything works, but after i install the plugin, the build crashes.

I thought on changing the minSdkVersion of plugin to 19 on plugin.xml, but it doesn't work. Everything worked before i added the plugin.

Task :app:processReleaseManifest FAILED

See http://g.co/androidstudio/manifest-merger for more information about the manifest merger.

app:spawn Command "cordova" failed with exit code: 1 +0ms app:cordova-conf ⚠️ [FAIL] Cordova CLI has failed +1ms

How can i solve this? Is there a fork of this plugin that runs from version 19+ ?

My plugins does use minSdkVersion 19

For support requests plz use other channels.

That being said, try to set a different android-minSdkVersion and if necessary android-targetSdkVersion in your config.xml.
