This repo is for remaining backwards compatible with previous versions of Cordova.

## Deprecated

> This plugin is no longer being worked on as the functionality provided by this plugin is now included in cordova-android 6.3.0. You should upgrade your application to use version 1.2.0 of this plugin. It will detect whether or not the plugin is required based on the version of cordova-android your app uses.

## USAGE

Your plugin can depend on this plugin and use it to handle the new run time permissions Android 6.0.0 (cordova-android 5.0.0) introduced. 

View [this commit](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/commit/a9c18710f23e86f5b7f8918dfab7c87a85064870) to see how to depend on `cordova-plugin-compat`. View [this file](https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/blob/master/src/android/CameraLauncher.java) to see how `PermissionHelper` is being used to request and store permissions.
