My app builds fine but it crashes when i try to run on a real device.
i’ve tried to look around to see what the problem could be and i noticed two things
<engine name="android" spec="^7.0.0" /> from config.xmlAndroid studio is working fine on my PC and apks generated do not crash.
Does it also crash if you try to build and run a new project created with ionic start?
yes even with a blank template project, it is still crashing.
Then something is broken with your environment.
What is your ionic info output?
What does ionic cordova requirements return?
Yes I know, something is broken in my environment, but I just can’t put my
finger on it. The AndroidManifest.xml is missing
how do I check ionic output and ionic Cordova requirement?
Run those commands on the command line and post their output.
i just ran ionic output and i got this:
cli packages: (C:\Users\Administrator.HP-PAVILION\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules)
** @ionic/cli-utils : 1.19.0**
** ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.19.0**
global packages:
** cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.0.0**
local packages:
** @ionic/app-scripts : 3.1.8**
** Cordova Platforms : android 7.0.0**
** Ionic Framework : ionic-angular 3.9.2**
System:
** Node : v8.9.4**
** npm : 5.6.0**
** OS : Windows 10**
Environment Variables:
** ANDROID_HOME : not set**
Misc:
** backend : pro**
ionic cordova requirements gave me this:
> cordova requirements
Android Studio project detected
Requirements check results for android:
Java JDK: installed 1.8.0
Android SDK: installed true
Android target: installed android-26,android-22,android-21,Google Inc.:Google APIs:21,android-20,android-19
Gradle: installed C:\Program Files\Android\Android Studio\gradle\gradle-2.2.1\bin\gradle
That looks very wrong.
What Android Studio are you using?
Install a standalone Gradle from Gradle | Installation
im using android studio 3.0.1
ive just downloaded and installed the latest gradle (version 4.5). what next?
AndroidManifest.xml is missing from platforms/android. Could that be problem?
If this normally is there, of course.
Did you remove and re-add the platform?
no i did not. In fact i just created a new project few minutes ago and AndroidManifest.xml is still missing.
Im using cordova-android@7.0.0
android manifest is inside platforms/app/src/main/
did you find? i got the same problem i think …
