Checklist
- I searched for existing GitHub issues
- I updated all Cordova tooling to most recent version
- I included all the necessary information above
Latest version of the plugin requires cordova-android version >=9.0.0, but you are using 6.4.0.
So Cordova CLI is probably installing an older version where there is no electron support or not installing the plugin at all because of conflicts between platforms requirements.
it’s not a bug on the plugin, so I’m closing
you should update cordova-android to 11.0.0
removing and adding the platforms again fixes the problem, but I'm not sure if it is a problem related to cordova-android 6. @jcesarmobile please pay attention that I'm not trying to install the plugin, I have removed it but it still exists in the requirements. If the Cordova CLI had installed an older version or even not installed the plugin, it must disappear from the project's requirements after removing it. But I agree with you, it is not related to the plugin itself. It must be a problem with the Cordova CLI.
Jcesar recommendation still applies. The CLI version and platform versions are fairly coupled. The interface between cordova-android 6 and cordova CLI is very likely incompatible as cordova-android 6 is pretty ancient and is not a supported version anymore.
