Is there a way to change the version of Gradle Plugin?

[nrikiji]

Would you please tell me if there is a way to change without fiddling the code directly...

buildscript {

    ・・・

    dependencies {
        // I want to rewrite this value
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.2.0'
    }
}

You can extend the gradle config (see the docs) but I don't think you can override/rewrite defined dependencies in gradle.

Also changing the gradle plugin version is not recommended. More often than not, the gradle plugin updates includes breaking changes.

Hi @nrikiji, I encounter the same problem recently. I need to use <queries> element in the AndroidManifest.xml.
However, it's only compatible since some patch of Android Gradle Plugin.
2 possibilities:

• Upgrade to last version of Cordova Android (10.x)
• Cordova Android 8 (v3.3.0) / 9 (v4.0.0) : Use a hook that modify the version. I haven't tested but this hook seems to make the job.
