Phonegap exporting fails to translate into apk

Problem Description

Yesterday, build.phonegap.com update their version to 5.x. Now any uploaded zipfile to build.phonegap.com fails. A current workaround is

So, what we did was to specifically force the phonegap version 3.7.0:

<preference name="phonegap-version" value="3.7.0" />

The error message on the build site says that you need to upgrade the inappbrowser.java file.

Attach a Capx

Any exported capx will do.

Description of Capx

Uploading any capx including a blank one seems to fail.

Steps to Reproduce Bug

• Export via cordova
• zip the exported directory and upload to build.phonegap.com
• Press the update/rebuild button.

Observed Result

The zipped file fails to translate into an apk file.

Expected Result

The zip file would translate into an apk file.

Working fine for me just comment out the in app browser plugin in the config as its not compatible and probably isnt required.

This issue still persists, is there any news on a fix for it?

Although a workaround has been posted above, it would be much better to get an official fix for the problem.

Thanks

It is rather a pain to have to manually fix the config file. Hoping the next beta pushes a quick fix for this.

Cordova recently moved all its plugins to npm. You need to add source="npm" to the gap:plugin tag for it to find the right version. The next beta has been updated to do this automatically which fixes the Android build problem.
