Description

I'm trying to release an Android app using the CLI.

When running 'cordova build android --release', I noticed the following setting in AndroidManifest.xml: "android:debuggable="true".

This setting prevents anyone from uploading to the Play Store.

I've solved this by adding a cordova-hook that sets this value to "false". Shouldn't this be done by default when building with the '--release' flag?
