Bug Report

gradle.extras fail with gradle 6.5

Problem

When using gradle 6.5 to build a cordova Android app, the build crashes with the following error:

"A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.
Could not find method leftShift() for arguments [build_extras_iirp9rj48r4etl69rhtwhtw1$_run_closure1$_closure2@49b383e8] > on task ':app:cdvCreateAssetManifest' of type org.gradle.api.DefaultTask."

What is expected to happen?

It is expected to build without issues.

What does actually happen?

See problem.

Information

This seems to relate to the fact that the << - notation is deprecated in newer gradle versions.
