Description

H5.Description When attempting to start the android plugin I'm getting the below error, this works fine on CLI 7.1.2 (plugin version 1.3.0/appcd version 1.1.3) and CLI 8.0.0-master.4 (plugin version 1.5.2/appcd 3.1.0) (note are we not choosing to lock down plugin versions per default-plugin release, this re-introduces the risk that we had previously worked to eliminate)
