Class not found android.permission.INTERNET Ionic / Android

Question

When I try to launch my application on my smartphone (Samsung Galaxy J5) after the build, my application instantly crash with the following error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to instantiate application android.permission.INTERNET: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Didn't find class "android.permission.INTERNET" on path: DexPathList[[zip file "/data/app/fr.hardis.VBNantes-1/base.apk"],nativeLibraryDirectories=[/data/app/fr.hardis.VBNantes-1/lib/arm, /data/app/fr.hardis.VBNantes-1/base.apk!/lib/armeabi-v7a, /vendor/lib, /system/lib]]

I am using Ionic 5.2 with Angular.

I however tried to add this to my my config.xml:

    <edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest">
        <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> 
    </edit-config>

Thank you for you help!

In Android Permissions are added to AndroidMenifest.xml file inside your android platform folder.

If you want your application to use internet go to your

YourProject\platforms\android\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml

File and add blow Code:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
