I am getting build error after updating cordova camera plugin from 2.1.1 to 2.3.1.
Version details:
cordova version: 6.3.1,
cordova-plugin-camera 2.1.1 "Camera"
What I'm doing:
cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-camera --save
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-camera --save
I see the config.xml file has been updated to:
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-camera" spec="~2.3.1" />
When I build cordova android build I get the following error:
Error: cmd: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:
