Issue #9

Motivation and Context

This improves inter-compatibility with other Cordova plugins.

Google recommends to apply this plugin in the bottom of grade file. That’s why I use postBuildExtras property.

Hopefully the project will be integrated into Cordova-android soon and it become deprecated. Read apache/cordova-android#438 (comment)

@chemerisuk, both ext.postBuildExtras and cdvPluginPostBuildExtras are run at the bottom of the gradle file. See https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/blob/e9750b5cabe70b1fc9abfad28fd1239d9b9415c2/bin/templates/project/app/build.gradle#L316-L324.

As cdvPluginPostBuildExtras is an array, it can be used by many plugins. Each plugin simply adds its gradle code to this array. ext.postBuildExtras is only defined once, so it can only be used by one plugin. For example, if you have a Cordova project with this plugin and
https://github.com/blakgeek/cordova-plugin-flurryanalytics, they both use ext.postBuildExtras (you can see its usage here: https://github.com/blakgeek/cordova-plugin-flurryanalytics/blob/master/src/android/plugin.gradle). Only the last plugin to be added will have its gradle code run in ext.postBuildExtras, so either this plugin or cordova-plugin-flurryanalytics would not work properly.

It seems like apache/cordova-android#438 was not merged into the next cordova-android release. Therefore we have to continue to use this plugin.

Let's merge this PR and include changes into the next minor release.
