How to set the minSdkVersion in Manifest.json (Android/Ionic)

I did update my config.xml with the following

<preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="23" />

However, when the apk is created (and the platform with ionic cordova platform add android)

in the Manifest.json, the min version is set to 16

I have this in my package.json

"cordova-android": "6.4.0"

even though, I don't think it's related.

What am I missing here ?

In your config.xml file

for android, you can set like this

<preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="14"/>

for Ios

<preference name="deployment-target" value="7.0" />

The likely culprit is a gradle file somewhere in your project. Some plugins can specify preferences that conflict with your config.xml. You can override all of the gradle files by passing --gradleArg=-PcdvMinSdkVersion=23 in your build/run commands.

Give the following a shot: ionic cordova build android -- --gradleArg=-PcdvMinSdkVersion=23

That should force the minSdkVersion to be 23 in your apk
