Error message:

The codebase is inherited and as I understand, the configuration used to compile correctly. Removing the plugin in the error results in the following plugin on the list taking its place in the error.

Changing

<preference  name="phonegap-version"  value= "3.5.0"  />

<preference  name="phonegap-version"  value= "3.7.0"  />

and formatting the plugins from

<gap:plugin  name="org.apache.cordova.dialogs" ></gap:plugin>

<gap:plugin  name="org.apache.cordova.dialogs" source="npm" ></gap:plugin>

seems to allow it to build, but the plugins do not function in the App.

Any and all help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

For any of you having the same problem, I found a solution:

What it boils down to:

Go to: PhoneGap Plugins Page

(I'm using contacts as an example here) and click on the [Old Plugins] tab. Now find your plugin and open its link under the [PBG Plugin ID] column. Use the

<plugin name="org.apache.cordova.contacts" spec="0.2.16" source="pgb" />

as described under [Usage Instructions] and replace source="pgb" with source="npm".

If this fails, make use of "Option 3" on the comments above "Start Using NPM for PhoneGap" artice where you use the [Repository] link under [Other Details] on your PhoneGap Plugin page in your plugin like so:

<plugin spec=“https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-contacts.git” source=“git” />

I hope this saves a few people a couple of hours!
