When reading the documentation [on the Android platform support in Cordova](https://github.com/apache/cordova-docs/blob/master/www/docs/en/dev/guide/platforms/android/index.md), it says that 7.X.X supports API level up to 27.
> cordova-android Version | Supported Android API-Levels | Equivalent Android Version
> ------------------------|------------------------------|-----------------------------
> 7.X.X | 19 - 27 | 4.4 - 8.1
> 6.X.X | 16 - 26 | 4.1 - 8.0.0
> 5.X.X | 14 - 23 | 4.0 - 6.0.1
> 4.1.X | 14 - 22 | 4.0 - 5.1
> 4.0.X | 10 - 22 | 2.3.3 - 5.1
> 3.7.X | 10 - 21 | 2.3.3 - 5.0.2
However, when I tried to use it, it didn't work, failing with "Cannot read property 'semver' of null" in platforms/android/cordova/lib/emulator.js.
The problem is that "cordova platform add android" (for cordova 8.0.0, the latest version) installs cordova-android 7.0.0, which doesn't include support for API level 27.
According to the documentation, [p"every release of cordova CLI pins a version for each platform"](https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-cli/index.html#cordova-platform-command), which means that the upper limit in the above table is often misleading.
