I've had the same issue for a few weeks now (not sure what I did to introduce it 馃槙 ).
A workaround I'm using is to run ionic cordova build android, since it _is_ able to build an APK before it dies on the output file, then run native-run android --app path/to/apk. This installs the app and runs it successfully.
However, it'd be nice if ionic cordova run android would just work. This workaround does _not_ work with a live-reload server (which I'd normally launch via ionic cordova run android -l), which is pretty unfortunate.
My ionic info (I'm on Windows btw...not sure if that makes a difference):

What are the contents of platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/debug/output.json?

{
"version": 1,
"artifactType": {
"type": "APK",
"kind": "Directory"
},
"applicationId": "REDACTED",

}
Weird, that's totally unlike mine and I have the same versions of everything.
[
{
"outputType": {
"type": "APK"
},
"apkData": {
"type": "MAIN",
"splits": [],

"fullName": "debug",

"dirName": ""
},
"path": "app-debug.apk",
"properties": {}
}
]
~Do you use some sort of custom build tool for Android?~
This might be related to the gradle version. What version does your app use?

@dwieeb I think it's Gralde 6.2.2? Below is output from gradle -v if that's what you're after.

I recall when first setting up the project (first adding the android platform, I think), I had to do something janky with something Android- or Gradle-related to fix an issue. I can try to reproduce that after the weekend and see if I tweaked something to make our versions diverge.

@gireeshspr Don't let me commandeer your issue if you have details different from mine. I can start a new one to separate concerns if necessary.

@zrev2220 Based on the output of the file in the output provided by @gireeshspr, I can confirm you have the same issue, so no worries.
I think this is what I'm after:
./platforms/android/gradlew --version
@dwieeb Ran that command, identical output:
$ platforms\android\gradlew --version

Sorry for the delay in response, problem still exists. My output json is already there in the request but its not well formatted in the copy paste. Yes my output resembles exactly the same. @dwieeb is correct.

This appears to be related to the Gradle version used. I wasn't able to narrow down exactly where output.json is generated. If anyone has insight into this it would be greatly appreciated!
I am making a release with this fix now.

@MarioC3 Can you supply all the information I asked for in this issue? ionic info isn't enough.
