+categories: announcements
+tags: news releases
+---
+
+We are happy to announce that `Cordova Android 6.3.0` has been released! 
+
+This release now targets the latest Android API level of API 26 and has fixed issues related to the **Android SDK Tools 26.0.2** release. **Google** changed how the Android emulator was executed, causing errors when deploying to the emulator. 
+
+This release contains the integration of `cordova-plugin-compat`, so please remove that plugin from projects once you update to this version of `cordova-android`.
+
+To upgrade:
+
+    npm install -g cordova
+    cd my_project
+    cordova platform update android@6.3.0
+
+To add it explicitly:
+
+    cordova platform add android@6.3.0
