The goal of this release is to upgrade all major dependencies to their latest versions, including the PhoneGap/Cordova framework and all plugins. See below for an overview of all old and new versions.
Changes
- We upgraded the PhoneGap/Cordova framework and plugins (for details, see Version Upgrades below)
- Android builds now target Android SDK level 28 by default (the minimally supported SDK level remains 19)
For Locally Compiled Apps Only
- When you install the dependencies of the hybrid app (by running
npm install), we check the version of the globally installedphonegappackage. We lifted the requirement that this version needs to exactly match thephonegap-cliversion specified in theconfig.xmlfile. Instead, we now accept any newer version as well, within the major version specified. For example, if yourconfig.xmldefinesphonegap-clilevel 8.1.1, we also accept PhoneGap version 8.2.2. - We removed all references to the
cordova-android-support-gradle-releaseandcordova-android-play-services-gradle-releaseplugins, as they are no longer needed. - We added additional NPM scripts (and improved existing ones) to make it easier to build your hybrid app and interact with the PhoneGap CLI.
