Error building for Cordova 5.0.0

[Ste]

I am now trying to update my app to the latest cordova version (5.0.0), but when I tried to build it for android (in release mode) I got this error:

What does it mean and how could I fix it?

Hello Ste,

I've already answered in your other thread here. As described there, it looks like you are using custom plugins and some of them include the Google Play Services as a .jar file (or in some other way). The recommended way to use Google Play Services is to use them in your plugin.xml as framework:

<framework src="com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.0" />

You should check if any of your custom plugins has the Google Play Services defined in a different manner and change it to use the suggested syntax.

Hope this helps.

Rosen,
thanks for your suggestion: changing the Play services definition in the AppsFlyer plugin allowed me to build for Android with Cordova 5.0.0.
However the app now doesn't even start, just a blank screen and it logs:

deviceready has not fired after 5 seconds.                      cordova.js:1185
Channel not fired: onCordovaReady                               cordova.js:1178
Channel not fired: onCordovaInfoReady                           cordova.js:1178
Channel not fired: onCordovaConnectionReady                     cordova.js:1178

I ran 'appbuilder device log' and I am attaching the result. 
I really don't know how to use that info, maybe you will find a clue.

Thanks

Hi Ste,

I've already answered your other forum thread about the white screen issue. It looks like some of the styles are setting the visibility of all elements to hidden.

Let's keep the conversation in the other thread, where's the full information about the issue, so we'll not miss something.
