yup just started getting this issue as well. for reference https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/android-build-broken-after-gradle-dependencies-update-execution-failed-for-task-processdebugresources-com-android-ide-common-process-processexception-failed-to-execute-aapt/109982/134 at the bottom has others with same issue today

[SpencerHehl]

using one of the suggestions in that thread i got it working. in the plugin.xml change framework src="com.android.support:support-v4:+" to framework src="com.android.support:support-v4:23+". builds successfully now.

[mauron85]

Yes it's seems latest android support libraries are not compatible. #381 need to be merged.

[ftunholm]

Just ran into the same issue @SpencerHehl your solution did not work for me. Might it be because i run cordova-android 7.0.0? EDIT: It did work after all, removed android platform and re-added it and they system started up. Thanks!

cli packages: (C:\Users\Metadeath\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules)

The solution isn't working for me unfortunately. When I change to the fixed android support version, I start receiving a lot of "Cannot find symbol" errors.

\platforms\android\app\src\main\java\com\tenforwardconsulting\cordova\BackgroundGeolocationPlugin.java:563: error: cannot find symbol @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) ^ symbol: variable KITKAT location: class VERSION_CODES

[shatfield04970]

The proposed fix, changing the framework version to 23+, doesn't appear to
work. As osietrz states, it generates a bunch of undefined symbols.

A fresh project, at latest revisions, does not build.

Steps to reproduce:

Start a new Ionic project: ionic start projectname blank
Change to directory: cd projectname
Add Android platform: ionic cordova platform add android
Add this one plugin: ionic cordova plugin add
cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation

Then change the framework settings or not - errors change but neither builds

Attempt build: ionic build android

Build fails.

@shatfield04970 can you plz provide:

• Plugin version:
• Platform: iOS or Android
• OS version:
• Device manufacturer and model:
• Cordova version (cordova -v):
• Cordova platform version (cordova platform ls):
• Plugin configuration options:
• Link to your project:

[mauron85]

FYI: If you want to "experiment" with android support library versions. The quickest way (without reinstallation) is to edit file platforms/android/project.properties and edit line

cordova.system.library.2=com.android.support:support-v4:+

eg.

cordova.system.library.2=com.android.support:support-v4:23+

then you can run:

cordova build

or

cordova run android

[shatfield04970]

It's pretty much an "all-current" configuration...

Added option to override android library version in config.xml

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-mauron85-background-geolocation">
    <!-- may contain other variables as shown above -->
    <variable name="GOOGLE_PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION" value="11.0.1" />
    <variable name="ANDROID_SUPPORT_LIBRARY_VERSION" value="23+" />
</plugin>

This should fix this issue.

[myamolane]

hello, i still have this issue
at first, i added this plugin
then added the option in config.xml and then
cordova platform add android
cordova build android
it still build failed
but change the project.properties file worked
option in config.xml seems doesn't work
is there anything i did wrong?

[mauron85]

@myamolane

config.xml only works when plugin was not installed yet. if plugin was installed any changes to config.xml are ignored. You have to remove plugin and reinstall plugin to reapply changes.
