You are right. They are not the same.
Our build server has the compile SDK of 25. The reason is that our build server is using Cordova 6.5. In other words, unless we upgrade to Cordova 7, we won’t be able to have higher compile SDK than 25. Regarding the upgrade to Cordova 7, we don’t have a specific release date yet but we’re already working on it.

Hi,
I set the config.xml file as follows:

      <preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="16" />
      <preference name="android-maxSdkVersion" value="26" />
      <preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="26" />
    </platform>

Then, I downloaded the APK file and run the following command:

$ aapt dump badging platforms/android/build/outputs/apk/android-debug.apk

Here is my result:

sdkVersion:'16'
maxSdkVersion:'26'
targetSdkVersion:'26'

I tested the project with Camera plugin without any issue. Do you still have the issue? If so, would you please tell me your device information such as model and OS version. Thanks.

@ボーツァンツォンドック Hi,
You can configure the Android SDK version in the config.xml file as follows:

<!-- These preferences are actually available in Cordova by default although not currently documented -->
    <preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="10" />
    <preference name="android-maxSdkVersion" value="22" />
    <preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="21" />

Or like this:

    <!-- Or you can use a config-file element for them -->
    <config-file target="AndroidManifest.xml" parent="/*">
        <uses-sdk android:maxSdkVersion="22" android:minSdkVersion="10" android:targetSdkVersion="21" />
    </config-file>

@thanh How did you test the project?
You need to run this project on Custom Debugger or build app. Standard (store) debugger is not working because the apiai-cordova-client plugin is not included.

@steverock Yes, you can upgrade the project to 6.5. That’d be still working. Let me know if you face any issue.

@thanh Hi,
When did you import the project? I just imported the project and test it without any issue. Would you please try to import the project again?

@sadakathullah
Hi,
I’ve modified the app and now the error is fixed. Please import the project again. I also made some changes to the plugin itself since there is a broken reference file in the plugin which will cause the build to fail. Therefore, you need to re-import the project and test it on custom Debugger or build app. Let me know if you still have the same issue. Good luck.

This issue has been solved. It turns out to be an issue with Splash screen configuration for Android in config.xml file. If you have the same build error, please make sure your splash screen configuration for Android looks like this:

<splash src="/res/android/screen/splash-port-xxxhdpi.9.png" density="port-xxxhdpi"/>
<splash src="/res/android/screen/splash-port-xxhdpi.9.png" density="port-xxhdpi"/>
<splash src="/res/android/screen/splash-port-xhdpi.9.png" density="port-xhdpi"/>
<splash src="/res/android/screen/splash-port-hdpi.9.png" density="port-hdpi"/>
<splash src="/res/android/screen/splash-port-mdpi.9.png" density="port-mdpi"/>
<splash src="/res/android/screen/splash-port-ldpi.9.png" density="port-ldpi"/>

Hi,
This doesn’t sound like the issue with the splash screen on iOS since you were able to see the splash screen. I would like to help but I need more information about your project. Please send a support ticket about this. Then, I will be able to look at the project properly and it is easier to pin point the issue.
