Hi When I build my android app through Ionic Pro it give me these errors. ![wLGEj8ctzO6RGNNnaA9IwjFpssBTPCfpuAdBi4Q4uv0lQ-02pnQsCgzFPw-dHD2q-A72nga-hXlKzYAllqj9QEMlxjY_cotFvf5jFID9JU8](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/ionicframework/original/3X/e/9/e9c65767a2cb1b65ff2c18c792b9023ab53ca1c4.png) When I build locally on my own PC it works just fine. This is my local ionic info ```auto Ionic: ionic (Ionic CLI) : 4.4.0 Ionic Framework : @ionic/angular 4.0.0-beta.16 @angular-devkit/build-angular : 0.10.6 @angular-devkit/schematics : 7.0.6 @angular/cli : 7.0.6 @ionic/angular-toolkit : 1.2.0 Cordova: cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.1.2 (cordova-lib@8.1.1) Cordova Platforms : not available Cordova Plugins : not available System: Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1 (C:\AndroidSDK) NodeJS : v8.12.0 (C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe) npm : 6.4.1 OS : Windows 10 ``` This is my package.json ```auto { "name": "tolkeplan-app", "version": "0.0.3", "author": "Ionic Framework", "homepage": "http://ionicframework.com/", "scripts": { "ng": "ng", "start": "ng serve", "build": "ng build", "test": "ng test", "lint": "ng lint", "e2e": "ng e2e" }, "private": true, "dependencies": { "@angular/common": "~7.1.0", "@angular/core": "~7.1.0", "@angular/forms": "~7.1.0", "@angular/http": "~7.1.0", "@angular/platform-browser": "~7.1.0", "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic": "~7.1.0", "@angular/router": "~7.1.0", "@fortawesome/angular-fontawesome": "^0.3.0", "@fortawesome/fontawesome-svg-core": "^1.2.8", "@fortawesome/free-solid-svg-icons": "^5.5.0", "@ionic-native/core": "5.0.0-beta.21", "@ionic-native/network": "5.0.0-beta.21", "@ionic-native/splash-screen": "5.0.0-beta.21", "@ionic-native/status-bar": "5.0.0-beta.21", "@ionic/angular": "4.0.0-beta.16", "@ionic/angular-toolkit": "^1.2.0", "@ionic/app-scripts": "^3.2.0", "@ionic/pro": "^2.0.3", "@ionic/storage": "^2.2.0", "cordova": "^8.1.2", "cordova-android": "7.1.3", "cordova-plugin-device": "^2.0.2", "cordova-plugin-file": "6.0.1", "cordova-plugin-file-transfer": "1.7.1", "cordova-plugin-ionic": "5.2.7", "cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard": "^2.1.3", "cordova-plugin-ionic-webview": "^2.2.5", "cordova-plugin-network-information": "2.0.1", "cordova-plugin-splashscreen": "^5.0.2", "cordova-plugin-statusbar": "^2.4.2", "cordova-plugin-whitelist": "^1.3.3", "cordova-sqlite-storage": "2.5.2", "core-js": "^2.5.4", "g": "^2.0.1", "ionic": "^4.4.0", "moment": "^2.22.2", "rxjs": "~6.3.3", "zone.js": "~0.8.26" }, "devDependencies": { "@angular-devkit/architect": "~0.10.0", "@angular-devkit/build-angular": "~0.10.0", "@angular-devkit/core": "~7.0.0", "@angular-devkit/schematics": "~7.0.0", "@angular/cli": "~7.0.0", "@angular/compiler": "~7.1.0", "@angular/compiler-cli": "~7.1.0", "@angular/language-service": "~7.1.0", "@ionic/ng-toolkit": "^1.1.0", "@ionic/schematics-angular": "^1.0.7", "@types/jasmine": "~3.3.0", "@types/jasminewd2": "~2.0.3", "@types/node": "^10.12.10", "codelyzer": "~4.5.0", "jasmine-core": "~3.3.0", "jasmine-spec-reporter": "~4.2.1", "karma": "~3.1.1", "karma-chrome-launcher": "~2.2.0", "karma-coverage-istanbul-reporter": "~2.0.1", "karma-jasmine": "~2.0.1", "karma-jasmine-html-reporter": "^1.4.0", "protractor": "~5.4.0", "ts-node": "~7.0.0", "tslint": "~5.11.0", "typescript": "~3.1.6" }, "description": "An Ionic project", "cordova": { "plugins": { "cordova-plugin-network-information": {}, "cordova-plugin-whitelist": {}, "cordova-plugin-statusbar": {}, "cordova-plugin-device": {}, "cordova-plugin-splashscreen": {}, "cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard": {}, "cordova-sqlite-storage": {}, "cordova-plugin-ionic-webview": { "ANDROID_SUPPORT_ANNOTATIONS_VERSION": "27.+" }, "cordova-plugin-ionic": { "APP_ID": "my app id", "CHANNEL_NAME": "Master", "UPDATE_METHOD": "none", "UPDATE_API": "https://api.ionicjs.com", "MAX_STORE": "2", "MIN_BACKGROUND_DURATION": "30" } }, "platforms": [ "android" ] } } ``` Anyone that have a solution for this? ---

My solution for this issue was to change my building script in my package.json to **ionic cordova platform add browser && ng run app:ionic-cordova-build --platform=browser**. This is not a good fixed since the bulding time is so much longer, and it should not be necessary to add an extra platform. The problem was the that the cordova.js was not included inside the index.html file after angular was build. ---
