tags: news releases
We are happy to announce that Cordova Android 3.7.1
has been released!
This release has numerous bug fixes, and sets the target-sdk to android-21 (which yields a pretty good graphics speed-up on Lollipop devices!). It will be the default Android version when the cordova-cli 4.1.0 is released.
To upgrade:
npm install -g cordova
cd my_project
cordova platform update android@3.7.1
To add it explicitly:
cordova platform add android@3.7.1
For non-CLI projects or for pre-3.0 projects, refer to the upgrade guides.
