Waistline 2.3.4: minSdkVersion 16 cannot be smaller than version 19 declared in library [:CordovaLib]

[relan]

I'm trying to build Waistline 2.3.4 on a Debian 8.11 system with Gradle 4.1. It fails with

Execution failed for task ':app:processReleaseManifest'.
> Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 16 cannot be smaller than version 19 declared in library [:CordovaLib] /home/fdroid/fdroiddata/build/com.waist.line/platforms/android/CordovaLib/build/intermediates/manifests/full/release/AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 16
  	Suggestion: use a compatible library with a minSdk of at most 16,
  		or increase this project's minSdk version to at least 19,
  		or use tools:overrideLibrary="org.apache.cordova" to force usage (may lead to runtime failures)

Steps to reproduce:

git checkout 2.3.4
cd platforms/android/app
gradle assembleRelease

Any clues?

P.S. Waistline 2.3.3 builds just fine on the same system.

The SDK version required was changed for 2.3.4 (I'm not sure why, I think it was a requirement of one of the plugins that I updated).

Are you able to build 2.3.3?

Yes, 2.3.3 builds just fine on the same system.

Hi,

I'm just looking into this issue now. If you open AndroidManifest.xml file in /platforms/android/app/src/main/ and change this line <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="27" /> to this <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19" android:targetSdkVersion="27" /> Are you able to build?

Actually I've just made this change and pushed it to the repo, see if you can build the master branch now, if you can I'll push a new release

Hi,

I'm on vacation now, away from my PC. Will be able to test only in two weeks.

[davidhealey]

No problem, enjoy your vacation :)

2.3.5 and 2.3.7 were built successfully, so this issue is solved. Thanks!
