Android - debug build

Build failed!

I already followed these steps..

  1. Delete the app's node_modules/​ dir

  2. Delete the app's package-lock.json​ file (if present)

  3. Delete the app's platforms/ dir

  4. Delete the app's plugins/ dir

  5. Run npm install​

  6. Run npm run build

(everything works yet!)

But, it gives same error while running - ionic cordova platform add android

Solution

  • An answered from the Ionic support team has solved my problem.

    The root of the problem here is cordova-plugin-fcm. That plugin hasn't been updated in a long time and likely doesn't support cordova-android 7.0.0+.

    First thing to try: revert to cordova-android 6.4.0 and retry your build. That may allow the fcm plugin to install correctly and not interfere with the directory structure of the project.

    Alternatively (and in general), I'd recommend switching to cordova-plugin-firebase which offers the same functionality and is actively maintained.

    The underlying directory structure of the Android platform changed with cordova-android 7.0. This can cause issues when you have plugins that haven't been adjusted for use with the new structure.

    Give one of those options a try.

    And it worked! Revert to cordova-android 6.4.0 and retry build was the solution to the problem.
