Updating application version in config.xml with edit-config on AndroidManifest /manifest

Bug Report

Problem

What is expected to happen?

android:versionCode & android:versionName in AndroidManifest.xml updated with cordova build android with config.xml :

<widget ... version="X.X.X+1" ...

with also an edit-config on the AndroidManifest.xml like this :

<platform name="android">
    <edit-config file="AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest">
        <manifest xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" />
    </edit-config>

What does actually happen?

android:versionCode & android:versionName in AndroidManifest.xml are not updated with cordova build android with the edit-config showed above in the config.xml.

When i remove the android platform and recreate it, android:versionCode & android:versionName are correctly created. (this is what i want to avoid...)

When i remove the edit-config showed above, it works. android:versionCode & android:versionName are correctly updated.

Current version of Cordova Android is 8.0.0. You should try that (and the current CLI 9.0.0 as well) and see if it was fixes in one of those updates.

closing since there was no response to the comment about using a more up to date version, if the issue is still present in cordova-android 12, please, report a new issue and provide a sample app where the issue can be reproduced
