EDIT Hi everybody, I just got a new laptop so moving finaly to Cordova 11 and android@11, learning versioning etc. I got 2 issues from cordova when building: 1. > No usable Android build tools found. Highest 32.x installed version is 31.0.0; Recommended version is 32.0.0. but in my Android Studio I have version 33.0.0(only this version) installed and my PATH is pointing to it C:\Users\AAA\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\build-tools\33.0.0
Anyone know how to fix that? 2. “You can use ‘--warning-mode all’ to show the individual deprecation warnings..” with quotes or without quotes it gives The platform “all” does not appear to have been added to this project. How to use warning mode all?

cordova by default is set to use version 32. It‘s looking for the latest version of 32.x. It hasn’t been tested against API/build tools 33 so it won't select it without explicitly telling it to use it.

Unless if you have a specific need to use 33, it would be best to install v32 of build tools.

If you do need v33, then use <preference name="android-buildToolsVersion" value="33.0.0" />

You'll also have to set your PATH variable accordingly.

There's no guarentee that build tools v33 will work with cordova-android@11, but if it does work it would be good to know.

now I set SDK to 32.0.0 but got another error

  • What went wrong: Execution failed for task ‘:app:processDebugMainManifest’. > Manifest merger failed : android:exported needs to be explicitly specified for element <receiver#nl.xservices.plugins.ShareChooserPendingIntent>. Apps targeting Android 12 and higher are required to specify an explicit value for android:exported when the corresponding component has an intent filter defined.

all libraries and applications must do that. Cordova has done that since a patch release of v10 (i forget which version exactly) but if you have plugins that imports native libraries, it also needs android:exported=true. This is not something you can fix necessarily yourself, especially if the library is closed source.

So whichever plugin that adds receiver#nl.xservices.plugins.ShareChooserPendingIntent I'd check to see if the plugin has an update. If not, then it may need to be updated to use a newer version of a native library.
