cordova-android referencing git repo is changed to npm package version when performing a release build about cordova-fetch

[HarelM]

@ebhsgit were you able to find a work around for this? I have the same issue with cordova-ios git version...

[HarelM]

I think I was able to overcome this by placing the cordova-ios git link in dependencies and not devDependencies. I'm failing to understand the logic here if it's not a bug...

[QuentinFarizon]

Same here, don't put cordova-android and cordova-ios in devDependencies, or they will not be taken into account.µ
When running cordova build, cordova fetches another version from npm, silently.

Definintely a bug according to #65 mentioning "platforms and plugins"

[HarelM]

@erisu this is the bug we talked about in slack...

[erisu]

Yeah, I remember, except I can not reproduce this at all.

I showed you all the steps I took to try to reproduce it and its output but everything checked out correctly.

[HarelM]

@erisu I'm having this issue again (this time with a regular version and not git repo version).
See if you can reproduce it on your end:
Clone https://github.com/IsraelHikingMap/Site

cd IsraelHiking.Web
npm install
rm -rf platforms/ && rm -rf plugins/ (just in case...)
npx cordova platform remove android
npx cordova platform add [email protected]
npx cordova prepare android

this will output the following: Using cordova-fetch for cordova-android@^9.0.0.

If I move the "cordova-android": "^10.1.1" in my package.json from devDependencies to dependencies prepare command will work with the right version.

I think this will be resolved by apache/cordova-lib#880 which was just merged in. In a day or two, you can test it by installing cordova@nightly.
