GitHub user breautek added a comment to the discussion: cordova.platformId
returning "browser" on android
`cordova.platformId` is powered by the platform, it's somewhat hard-coded. The
`cordova.js` file (which is a generated file and each platform has its own
version) obtains the platform id via it's `platform.js` import.
So the fact that `cordova.platformId` is `"browser"` suggests that you're maybe
mixing platform files? Everything inside the `platforms/` folder is managed by
Cordova and in most cases shouldn't be touched.
Also worth making sure you're correctly testing the variable rather than doing
an assignment. For example:
```javascript
if (cordova.platformId = "browser") { ... }
```
A logical error such as above which might be easy to miss, would do an
assignment, replacing `cordova.platformId` and then proceed to evaluate whether
the value is "truthy" (which it is) and thus enter the if condition. If you
inspect the variable after, it will have the `"browser"` value since the
assignment has already occurred.
The following would be the correct usage:
```javascript
if (cordova.platformId === "browser") { ... }
```
