Dear,
I am running ionic cordova build android --prod --release and I receive the following message:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 15s
45 actionable tasks: 3 executed, 42 up-to-date
Built the following apk(s): 
	/Users/nicolas/Documents/Proyectos/..../platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release-unsigned 4.apk
	/Users/nicolas/Documents/Proyectos/..../platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release-unsigned.apk
             
            
              
              
              
            
            
           
          
            
            
              Success looks great!
And what is your problem or question?
             
            
              
              
              
            
            
           
          
            
            
              My question is: Why does it generate 2 APK? one that ends with “4.apk” and another “.apk”. Also I have had problems, when I install the signed application and I receive a push notification the icon is not visible.
             
            
              
              
              
            
            
           
          
            
            
              
Open a new topic about this please.
No idea. Are you using Crosswalk or anything special in your project?
