I had this error just now and found this page when searching for a solution.

It turned out I had a space after my app ID in config.xml. It was

<widget id="com.myapp.app " version="4.0.4" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">

Once I removed the space after “app” (before the speech mark) it compiled and built no problem. Not sure if that will help others, but hopefully it may!
