PhoneGap Android Build Failure

Without making any app changes, my Android Build started failing a few days ago. It fails even if I leave the viewer out… iOS is fine…

I put this on the PhoneGap site and have not received any useful replies.

I would appreciate any help you can provide.

Thank you,
Warren

PhoneGap is constantly tinkering with its components. It’s a moving target. By default, it builds using cli-6.5.0. The latest version is cli-8.0.0. Some of the components have been updated, so they only work with later versions of PhoneGap.

The fix is to change the version of PhoneGap being used, or to tell PhoneGap to use an older version of the plugin.
