FULL STEPS

nvm use 11

git clone https://github.com/moodlehq/moodleapp.git
cd moodlemobileapp
npm run setup
ionic cordova platform remove android
ionic cordova platform add android --no-resources

EXPECTED

Expect platform to build without errors

ACTUALLY HAPPENS

Error is displayed:

Error: Unable to graft xml at selector "/manifest/application/activity[@android:name='MainActivity']" 

Build with Phonegap CLI 9.00

Building with CLI 6.5.0 is working fine but App cannot be installed and Playstore requires CLI-9.00.
