Have you already install Android Studio and Gradle android ? If not you need to do this and retry after that

a7mdFo2ad · 2018-06-05 15:29:03 UTC

i already installed them
now this error from android studio

joshT · 2018-06-05 15:31:07 UTC

Maybe you need to download SDK version 16 into SDK Manager of Android Studio ?

a7mdFo2ad · 2018-06-05 16:45:10 UTC

Define <preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="19" /> in config.xml file.

dayaki · 2018-06-07 00:57:31 UTC

This is caused when you install google maps plugin. This is how I solved it:

run “ionic cordova platform rm android” to remove the android platform
edit android-minSdkVersion to reflect 19 in your config.xml
add android platform and it should work.

Byte · 2018-07-10 13:43:26 UTC

I uninstall ionic cordova plugin remove cordova-plugin-googlemaps and work version 16 (ionic cordova build android --prod)

seevoovapp · 2018-08-08 17:04:59 UTC

Hey.
for the one of you who still struggle with this, i found out that the line
in config.xml file does not influence.
the solution i found is adding this: “-- – --minSdkVersion=21” to the build command like this:
ionic cordova build android --prod --release – -- --minSdkVersion=19

Hope it helps

a7mdFo2ad · 2018-08-14 10:34:52 UTC

thank you for reply
i will try it soon

Qbiqs0971 · 2018-10-18 07:27:28 UTC

NurGuz · 2018-10-29 11:50:28 UTC

If I change it, dont generate the “outputs” folder and the unsigned-apk when i build :S

luatvudinh · 2018-11-05 07:43:25 UTC

This works for me. Thank a lot.

onkarparmar · 2018-11-12 14:05:37 UTC

Worked fine for me, thanks!

nextbyn · 2018-11-29 12:17:54 UTC

not work for me.
still shows the error
Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 16 cannot be smaller than version 19 declared in library [:CordovaLib] /FOLDER_PROJECT/build\intermediates\manifests\full\debug\AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 16

seevoovapp · 2018-12-02 08:11:37 UTC

Please post here the full build command, maybe there is some mistake.

Number of hyphenes are not correct, there supposed to be 6 hyphenes before minSdkversion=21 command.

Try it out… it works…
