This i

Answer 1

After upgrading the Application. I observed different Cordova versions.

1. Apache Cordova Cli version which is 6.0.0.
2. Cordova Android version which is 5.1.0.
3. Cordova IOS version which is 4.1.1.
4. Docs version is which is 6.0.0, shown on the Cordova Docs website.

Now i am confused, On which version basis, Google Dev Console is giving warning?

Please migrate your app(s) to Apache Cordova v.4.1.1 or higher as soon as possible and increment the version number of the upgraded APK. Beginning May 9, 2016, Google Play will block publishing of any new apps or updates that use pre-4.1.1 versions of Apache Cordova.

The vulnerabilities were addressed in Apache Cordova 4.1.1. If you’re using a 3rd party library that bundles Apache Cordova, you’ll need to upgrade it to a version that bundles Apache Cordova 4.1.1 or later.

And before upgrading. Our Application versions were these.

1. Apache Cordova Cli version which is 5.4.1.
2. Cordova Android version which is 4.1.1.
3. Cordova IOS version which is 3.9.1.
4. Docs version is which is 5.4.1, shown on the Cordova Docs website.
