plugin produces compile error

[djjterror]

I used cocoon and phonegap
both give following compile error:

No resource identifier found for attribute 'appComponentFactory' in package 'android'
com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt

then i removed cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview plugin and compile worked

So what now?

[Moghul]

Having the exact same problem building with cordova locally. Removing the plugin fixes my issue, but I need the plugin.

/path/to/platforms/android/build/intermediates/manifests/full/armv7/release/AndroidManifest.xml:57: AAPT: No resource identifier found for attribute 'appComponentFactory' in package 'android'

/path/to/platforms/android/build/intermediates/manifests/full/armv7/release/AndroidManifest.xml:57: error: No resource identifier found for attribute 'appComponentFactory' in package 'android'

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':processArmv7ReleaseResources'.

com.android.ide.common.process.ProcessException: Failed to execute aapt

Same problem building with PhoneGap cli-6.5.2. Setting PhoneGap cli back to 6.0.0 fixed the problem.

[Moghul]

I don't feel like that's a fix. I don't even use PhoneGap cli.

The real temp fix is somewhere in here
#205

You make a build-extras.gradle file and you try and figure out which library version you need. Good luck.

EDIT: The comment from jetma worked from me.

As pointed out by @Scuttman in #205, this is caused when building with Android Support Library v28.

To avoid needing to manually create a build-extras.gradle file, use cordova-android-support-gradle-release plugin to specify v27:

cordova plugin add cordova-android-support-gradle-release  --variable ANDROID_SUPPORT_VERSION=27.+

I feel like installing a plugin to fix a bug is a bit like killing a mosquito with a hammer. Is this really the correct solution?

[dpa99c]

@Moghul There's plugins and there's Plugins...

This "plugin" is just Gradle config which is deployed by a nodejs script fired by Cordova.
There's no native code.

It's a generic solution to a problem which is inherently caused by the fact that cordova-android doesn't provide a mechanism by which you can take fine-grain control of Gradle dependency versions.

The "correct" solution would be to add such a mechanism to the cordova-android platform.
