Android build fails. Apparent conflict with other plugins

[viking2917]

Expected Behaviour

After installing plugin, Android build should work.

Actual Behaviour

If I install only this plugin, Android build works ok.
From a clean install, if I first install, say, Cordova barcodescanner plugin, build works. If I then install this plugin, build fails with some kind of version conflict (details below).
IOS Builds OK in any case. Weird thing is this was working fine unless yesterday, and I'm not aware what I might have changed. Any idea what might be going wrong?

Error:

/Users/markwatkins/Sites/buildtest2/platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml:27:9-31 Error:
Attribute meta-data#android.support.VERSION@value value=(25.3.1) from [com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.3.1] AndroidManifest.xml:27:9-31

Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:value"' to element at AndroidManifest.xml:25:5-27:34 to override.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':processDebugManifest'.

[mralj]

I have same issue, I could build without any problems until yesterday, since yesterday, i get similar err. (and I didn't change any config files nor added any new plugins etc, basically code was same)

[peterpeterparker]

I face the same problem too after my update to version cordova-plugin-facebook4@1.9.0

Reverted back to cordova-plugin-facebook4@1.7.4 which doesn't produce that error

Side note: I faced the error while running following command

 ionic cordova build android --prod

[viking2917]

@peterpeterparker cool. I'm a bit of a n00b how do I revert to an older version? ie instead of doing:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/jeduan/cordova-plugin-facebook4 --save --variable APP_ID="<myid>" --variable APP_NAME="<myname>"

what do I do instead? Thanks!!!

[peterpeterparker]

@viking2917 I did the following.

First I removed the plugin:

cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-facebook4

then I added the version number to the cmd line, like

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-facebook4@1.7.4 --save --variable APP_ID="<myid>" --variable APP_NAME="<myname>"

[viking2917]

@peterpeterparker Super! That is now working for me. I tried it first with the github url scheme, e.g.
cordova plugin add https://github.com/jeduan/cordova-plugin-facebook4@1.7.4 ...
and that didn't work, but this works.
Thank you!

[rvfede]

@peterpeterparker I just reverted to v1.7.4 and works fine again! Thanks!

[Zapmobilegames]

Same here. I also tried to revert to the 1.8.0 instead but it doesn't build.
The 1.7.4 builds.

[jalchr]

It seems v1.9.0 (current latest) breaks when building Android. While v.1.7.4 works flawlessly.

[peterpeterparker]

According the error 'tools:replace="android:value"' should be added to the Manifest.xml

Don't know exactly which values should be marked as to be replaced (android:label?) and how to add that to plugin.xml but I guess that's the pass.

A related post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25981156/tools-replace-not-replacing-in-android-manifest

[jacquesdev]

Hi there - so just a note it seems that this is being caused by the wrong version in plugin.xml. I have created a PR which should fix this issue #509.

In the meantime, here is an alternative/temporary solution to fixing it, https://stackoverflow.com/a/44311407/1280740, if you need to use the latest version 1.9.0, as opposed to version 1.7.4.

[peterpeterparker]

@jacquesdev thx for your work but unfortunately still doesn't solve the issue :(

@jeduan could you plz reopen the issue?

(I removed/added the plugin, double checked that I was using version 1.9.1 and even removed/added my cordova platform again to be sure...)

@jeduan - see comment here, #497 (comment), perhaps this can also be re-opened?
