How to change version code in AndroidManifest.xml using Cordova 3.6.4

Question

I am trying to change the version code in AndroidManifest.xml. I am using Cordova 3.6.4.

As per the docs I am updating it in the config.xml but it is not reflecting in the AndroidManifest.xml after the build.

Config.xml

<widget id="" versionCode="6" version="2.0.2" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">

AndroidManifest.xml after build

<manifest android:hardwareAccelerated="true" android:installLocation="auto" android:versionCode="20002" android:versionName="2.0.2" package="" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

As per Cordova API docs:

Both, Android and iOS support a second version string (or number ) in addition to the one visible in app stores, versionCode for Android and CFBundleVersion for iOS.

Below is an example that explicitly sets versionCode and CFBundleVersion

<widget id="io.cordova.hellocordova"
  version="0.0.1"
  android-versionCode="7"
  ios-CFBundleVersion="3.3.3">

If alternative version is not specified, the following defaults will be used:

// assuming version = MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH-whatever
versionCode = PATCH + MINOR * 100 + MAJOR * 10000
CFBundleVersion = "MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH"
