Please describe the issue:

We are currently facing a build limitation issue while generating our Android APK using VoltBuilder and would like your assistance.

Issue Details
When attempting to build our app with an older Android engine, we receive the following error:

UserError: Error: engine must be at least 10.0.0 (currently using 9.0.0)

Earlier, our application was successfully built and used with Android engine 9.x (target SDK 22), where all required features—including call recording—worked as expected. However, with the enforced minimum engine requirement of cordova-android 10+, call recording functionality no longer works on our devices.

Our Requirements
The APK is strictly for internal office use

It will NOT be published on the Google Play Store

The app is deployed only on company-owned tablets

Call recording is a business requirement for internal operations

Requests
Kindly let us know if it is possible on VoltBuilder to:

Build an APK using cordova-android 9.x, or

Allow an exception/legacy build configuration for internal-use applications

If Android 9 builds are not supported:

Please clarify whether any VoltBuilder-supported configuration or workaround exists to enable call recording on Android 10+ devices, specifically for internal / non–Play Store distribution

We fully understand Google Play policies; however, since this application is not intended for public distribution, we are requesting guidance or support options suitable for internal enterprise usage.

We would appreciate your help in identifying the best possible solution or confirming technical limitations from the build platform side.

Thank you for your support.
We look forward to your response.

We are aware that builds with cordova-android engine 9.x are still sometimes needed and have released a custom engine that can be used to make these possible. Please replace the engine line in your config.xml with the following:

<engine name="android" spec="https://github.com/voltbuilder/cordova-android#9.1.1" />

This should allow you to build using our custom 9.1.1 version based off of 9.1.0.
