I updated Cordova 7 and all my plugins to last versions.
ionic platform rm/add android is ok
ionic platform rm/add ios finish in error:
Error: Cannot find module '../plugman/platforms/ios'
UPDATE: ionic-plugin-deeplinks seems to not be compatible with Cordova 7.0.0. See https://github.com/driftyco/ionic-plugin-deeplinks/issues/99

@Sujan12 except the problem I found with ionic-plugin-deeplinks, it looks like that Cordova 7.0.0 inclusive the last version of cordova-android@6.2.3 are alright.
I updated cordova, all my plugins, removed both ios and android plaforms, added, configured and built my platforms again and finally tested successfully my application on both iPhone 6 and Samsung Edge

hi guys,
i run
ionic state reset
and then
ionic platform add android
then cordova put all plugins from the config.xml to the package.json
thank you
it’s working good for me as well
This means there is no support for Android below version 5?
Android API level support for cordova-android is here:
https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/7.x/guide/platforms/android/index.html
And the API levels to versions:
https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels
Maybe I misunderstood this:
cordova-android : dropped support for any versions older than 5.0.0.
Yes, cordova-android != Android.
