Cant build android app

Hi guys, when I try to build my app see this error (2 weeks ago run correctly)

A problem occurred configuring root project 'android'.
> Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration ':_debugApkCopy'.
   > Could not find any version that matches com.google.android.gms:strict-version-matcher-plugin:11.8.+.

First try to completely rebuild your android build.

ionic cordova platform rm android
ionic cordova platform add android

P.s. You might have to update your gradle plugin (Android Studio) too. Just open any Android project in Android Studio (or create just an empty one). You’ll see the syncing process down in the statusbar. Wait for it to finish.

clean your existing build

cordova clean [<platform> [...]]
ex :  cordova clean android

then open sdk manager and

  1. Uninstall android support repository
  2. Install again android support repository

Try, do it and works, but after of this I was update all m plugins https://ionic.zone/cordova/update

Thx

glad to help…:slightly_smiling_face:

Mmmm doesn’t work, don’t generate the output folder in build :S

what errors u are getting

nothing errors… But before I have this error,

 Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 16 cannot be smaller than version 19 declared in library [:CordovaLib] 

so I was change de minSdkVersion in my config.xml. But If I change it, dont run the build

M ioinic info:

Ionic:

   ionic (Ionic CLI)  : 4.2.1
   Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.5.2
   @ionic/app-scripts : 2.0.2

Cordova:

   cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.1.2 (cordova-lib@8.1.1)
   Cordova Platforms     : android 7.1.1
   Cordova Plugins       : no whitelisted plugins (16 plugins total)

System:

   Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1 (C:\Users\Nuria\AppData\Local\Android\sdk)
   NodeJS            : v8.10.0 (C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe)
   npm               : 5.7.1
   OS                : Windows 10

check this link it might happen if you are using some plugin which should have atleast minimumSdk version 16.

Omg…outfolder was hide… work correctly. Thanks!!!

How did you fix it finally? I’m facing the same problem :tired_face:

update all m plugins [https://ionic.zone/cordova/update] and after rm and install the platform

It didnt work for me, If i try to remove some plugin for update it, the console shows me a weird message:

Uninstalling cordova-plugin-firebase from android

(node:1121) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

And after that, I can’t even get the same error that I have previously (the one about strict-version-matcher), because I get similar errors to the one that I have shown

I don’t know what is the incorrect plugin. I have this plugins but I dont know what is

Hello,

In my case, I found that cordova-plugin-firebase had a confilct with another plugin with the framework “com.google.gms:google-services”.

So, first I went to plugins > cordova-plugin-firebase > plugin.xml, then i changed the line <framework src=“com.google.gms:google-services:+” /> for <framework src=“com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0” />

When i did this changed, the compile process throw an error with de java version, then i went to platforms > android > build.gradle i changed
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_6
for
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8

and because this java version use Jack, so i had to add
jackOptions {
enabled true
}
in the defaultConfig space.

It worked for me.
I hope to help you.
Regards!
