You can upgrade your project to Cordova 11 by following the steps below.

- Click Manage Cordova Plugins
- Click “Upgrade to 11.0.0” in the figure below
Android Platform 10
In Cordova 11, projects use the Android platform 10 or later. Android platform 10 start to support WebViewAssetLoader. Therefore, the default scheme for accessing resources has been changed from the “file://” scheme to the “https://” scheme.
If your Monaca project is configured for Android platform 9 or lower, please make sure to check your application using Android platform 10 in advance.

The “cordova-plugin-network-information” is now v3.0.0 in Cordova11.
In version 3, the reference to “navigator.network.connection,” which was available until version 2 series, has been changed to “navigator.connection” as follows.
// version2
navigator.network.connection
// version3
navigator.connectionProject Downgrade
Cordova11 Upgraded projects cannot be downgraded to a previous version.
A backup project of the previous version will be created automatically at the time of upgrade, so please use that.
Warning in Monaca Debugger
The “Monaca Debugger” for Cordova 11 is version 11.0.0 or later.
If the Cordova version installed in the debugger and the Cordova version of the project is different, the application may not work properly. In that case, please use “Custom Build Debugger”.
