Crosswalk Cordova does not build with Android 4.0.3

I need to target older device with a cordova application and hope that https://crosswalk-project.org/ will help to solve compatibility issue with older webviews

I followed the instructions in https://crosswalk-project.org/#documentation/cordova/migrate_an_application/migrate-using-adt

xwalk_core_library and Cordova does not build for Android 4.0.3 (API 15)

I tried

  • crosswalk-cordova-5.34.104.4-x86
  • crosswalk-cordova-6.35.131.7-x86
  • crosswalk-cordova-7.35.144.0-x86

none of them are working,

It does build fine with Android 4.4.2 (API 19)

I saw Crosswalk Cordova does not build question and answer but answer solve latest android version and not for Android 4.0.3

Solution

  • Crosswalk no longer supports Android 4.0.3. (Despite online documentation,) when you install the plugin (in cordova) you will be advised ICS no longer supported - earliest Android supported is 4.1 (Jellybean) at the time of this post.
