In the file "/platforms/android/CordovaLib/src/org/apache/cordova/PluginManager.java" line 492 using cordova-android 9,
if (c != null & CordovaPlugin.class.isAssignableFrom(c)) {
ret = (CordovaPlugin) c.newInstance();
}
The value of ret variable is null and shows the error message "the application was stopped".
When go back to the last version 1.0.12 of the NativeView.java, and comenting the getBuildVariant method, the error mentioned above in PluginManager.java not happens.
