I created a zip package from my app.
Then, I uploaded it to phonegap build to create the apk file I need.
In the output, I saw this:

This is my confing.xml:

I tried to add the last line to specify the android engine, but the output is the same. I'm using the phonegap version 7.0.1 and I prefer to keep it. Is there a way to reach my goal, keeping this phonegap version and adding the plugins I need [gps reader and barcode scanner]?
Try with this
<plugin name="cordova-plugin-geolocation" spec="2.4.1" />
and for Barcode use this plugin
<plugin spec="https://github.com/Telerik-Verified-Plugins/BarcodeScanner.git" source="git" >
<param name="CAMERA_USAGE_DESCRIPTION" value="To scan barcodes." />
</plugin>
