How can I specify cordova android version in config.xml?

Question

I want to use a specific version of cordova android (lets say 6.2.2). I know it can be done by this command :

cordova add platform android@6.2.2

But I want to know if there is way to just add platform and the version to put it inside the xml.

I have seen also this question How can I specify the minimum SDK in phonegap? It is ignoring android-minsdkversion in config.xml but I cannot figure out how it can be possible

Answer 1

This is done using the <engine> tag:

<engine name="android" spec="^6.3.0" />
<engine name="ios" spec="~4.5.1" />
<engine name="browser" spec="latest" />

You can find the docs for it here .
