With using github (https://github.com/pushbots/phonegap) or the official repo (pushbots-cordova-plugin) building for android fails.

cordova v 6.0.0
phonegap v 6.0.1

:compileArmv7DebugNdk
 UP-TO-DATE


:compileArmv7DebugSources

So, it doesn't fail alone. It only fails when this plugin is also in the mix. https://github.com/BranchMetrics/Cordova-Ionic-PhoneGap-Deferred-Deep-Linking-SDK But ONLY when these two are together. It works fine if each is alone

I'm getting a build failure but only when I have:
PushBots (Latest 1.3.6) and Google Maps (Latest 1.3.9) cordova-plugin-googlemaps together.
Phonegap Build cli-5.2.0

From searching around it seems to be related to the android-support module being fetched by the Google Maps plugin combined with pushbots reference to the same thing, in the attached log you will see:
Fetching plugin "cordova-plugin-android-support-v4" via npm
Pushbots references cordova-plugin-android-support-v4 as well in it's plugin.xml file.

I'm not sure which side has the power to resolve this so that manual changes aren't needed for Phonegap build to run successfully.

UPDATE: This forked version with the Android support references modified built successfully:
<plugin spec="https://github.com/olliebennett/phonegap" source="git" />

this was a different error than mine, see BranchMetrics/cordova-ionic-phonegap-branch-deep-linking-attribution#94 (comment) for my soltuion.

Remove the android-support-v4.jar in your Android platforms/android/libs directory.

That should be fixed with latest release.

Awesome, will test. Thanks!
