@anujsinghwd You're still not filling out the issue template. The more information provided the easier I can help you. This is more of a support request anyway, but perhaps we can help some people from Google if they arrive.

1. Are you running ionic cordova build android or cordova build android (directly)?
2. What exactly have you tried to resolve this issue?
3. Link to the topic in the forum and any other issues that are related.

From googling around, it looks like this issue is related to a mismatch between Cordova and the Android SDK. Have you tried updating the SDK?

[anujsinghwd]

sorry @dwieeb I forget to mention this

• I tried with ionic cordova build android or cordova build android both and get same error.
• I also tried after updating the android sdk and get the same error.
• it's not building the APK this is the issue
• I googled the same issue and find in forum but that solution is not worked for me

@anujsinghwd You need to link to the topic, otherwise I have no idea what the solution you tried is.

Is this the topic? https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/failed-build-for-android-execution-failed-for-task-app-processdebugresources/124551

• If so, are you using cordova-plugin-facebook4?
• If not, please send a link to the issue so I can help.

Can you please look in your config.xml for settings regarding SDK version:

• android-minSdkVersion
• android-maxSdkVersion
• android-targetSdkVersion

Post the relevant lines to this issue.

I have no insight into your local project, so it's helpful to post as much information as you can.

This resolves my issue :-
Go to platforms/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml and add these lines :

<string name="fb_app_id">Your Facebook APP ID</string>
<string name="fb_app_name">YOur Facebook App Name</string>

my application has worked with facebook4 login, but by removing and re-adding the facebook4 plugin with the variables it has generated a mess in my application since it does not build well on the android platform.
