Ionic-framework: platforms/android/app/res/xml/config.xml (No such file or directory)

[skygragon]

This error occurs after I upgrade my ionic/cordova. Now the build android failed with this error:

* Where:
Script '/Users/xxx/Projects/xxx/platforms/android/CordovaLib/cordova.gradle' line: 168

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating script.
> /Users/xxx/Projects/xxx/platforms/android/app/res/xml/config.xml (No such file or directory)

Following is my ionic env:

Remove the android platform add again and then try building it. I also had the same issue earlier

@chandanch yep I tried but not help. I have to revert to cordova 7.1.0 and everything goes well now. There might be some bugs in 8.0.0.

Hello! Thank you for opening an issue with us!

The Ionic Framework issues list is designated for the reporting of bugs with the Ionic Framework or for requesting new features. As this seems like more of a support question I am going to close this issue.

I urge that you ask this question on our forum or on our slack channel.

FWIW, I am using Cordova 8 and it works fine in _most_ cases, but I have run into issues with some plugins not being updated for it, so you might want to check that all of your plugins are up to date, and if you still have the issue, eliminate all except the standard set that Ionic uses and then add them back one by one. At least that has been my experience.

Thanks for using Ionic!

@skygragon I think this is related to https://github.com/crosswalk-project/cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview/issues/188#issuecomment-354438731

Cordova CLI v8.0 will use [email protected] by default.

As most of the cordova plugins do not support [email protected] yet, you can also try using the older one by specifying version:

ionic cordova platform add [email protected]

Cordova 8.0.0 have many issues till now it automatically set android 7.0.0 version which is not support by all android studio version so downgrade to @6.4.0 by using ionic cordova platform add [email protected]
