When using this for cordova-android 7.1.0, it complains about the failed requirement

cordova platform add android

+1 same issue.

I solved this issue by, downloading the browsertab plugin first and then removing the dependency code in plugins xml file and then removing and adding the cordova-android 6.4.0 and it worked.

I believe it will work the same way in other above version too.

That's not a reliable solution, it will work only on your local machine.

I just suggested if you want to make it build now. Else somebody has to make changes and give new git commit and google has to approve it.

I see that there is a version 0.2.1 in the repo, which has the dependency removed, but it has never been published to npm. Can someone please publish it?

Hi, @sebastian-zarzycki-es
Did you find an alternative solution to this?

[sebastian-zarzycki-apzumi]

I don't remember, honestly. I think I've patched the plugin locally, like @sanvenkur suggested. There's not much to be done, just ask the original maintainer to, well, maintain his work.

Thanks, I'll try something.

No solution yet? I don't want to patch the plugin locally 😑
