Can't run ionic 3 app on device after ionic update

There is a very simple fix for this, when using plugins some of those might be outdated in your platforms folder check if all the plugins are working on version 19 and not for example version 17 or 15. a quick guide to help you is written below

to find the android version folder go to: platforms => android => AndroidManifest.xml (make sure its 19)

to find your outdated plugins folders go to: platforms => android => cordova-something-something

change the outdated values to 19 and you should be good to go :slight_smile:

The one and only solution of this problem I’ve found so far mentioning the version while adding the platform. Like:

   ionic cordova platform add android@7.1.4

Then you can build.
