Anyone know about this? Found some things with google but no solution for my problem.
Hi, @perenyitamas
In your Project :
Go in to the ./platforms/android/ folder and run below command :
$ ./gradlew --info build clean
Thanks

Are you using the Facebook plugin, if yes, sounds like a duplicate of https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/ionic-android-build-error-failed-to-execute-aapt/
Otherwise sounds like a cordova-android@7 incompatibility problem, maybe then ** [done] Ionic app doesn't run or build
Unfortunately not a direct solution, I guess to find the solution you should maybe remove/add the platform and then add one after the other the plugins till you find the one which brakes the build
Hope that help a bitâŚ
hi,
did you solve it coz iâm facing same here .

For me, these two commands worked. Removing and re-adding the platform.
ionic cordova rm android
ionic cordova add android

Perfect, thanks !
Just updating for Ionic 3, the commands I used were 
ionic cordova platform remove android
ionic cordova platform add android

I did not need to add and remove the platform as suggested by the previous response.
Cordova CLI has clean command.
Run:
cordova clean android
Note: will not work if you chain with ionic as ionic cordova clean platform is not supported.https://ionicframework.com/docs/cli/commands.html
Thanks a lot, that worked for me.
