Google Play needs the variable "minSdkVersion" in the file "AndroidManifest.xml"

[siamak-haschemi]

Given I configured a android package decleration in config.json When I sign and build the android APK package Then the temporary created Android-Project should contain the "minSdkVersion" tag in the AndroidManifest.xml

File Espresso/package/PhoneGap/Android/setup-manifest needs to be changed

[siamak-haschemi]

I propose the addition of a new config.json parameter "minSdkVersion".

Here is the little patch for setup-manifest

Please reopen this Issue, since the new generic AndroidManifest approach (#87) does not contain the required mandatory minSdkVersion property. Again, without that property I was not able to relase into the Google Play Store.

Thanks!

The minSdkVersion property should be optional and default to some reasonable value.

Potential default values are at least:

• the version part of package.{target}.sdk, like done in 8fbd4ae0fbab64a9fa755654ce696060464c3e60
• "1", which would conform to the Android Dev Guide's default value (see http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html).

I prefer conformity with the default that Android uses, means "1".

I'd recommend to set the default minimum sdk version to level 8 based on this: http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-versions.html
