...does not satisfy dependency plugin requirement "cordova-plugin-ionic-webview@>=2.0.0"... now android doesn't build

ccdex_chris · July 25, 2018, 12:10am

Hey all,

Bit of a long post here.

I always use the same method of doing a fresh build of my app.

Remove /node_module, /platforms, /plugins and then do an npm install.

Next, I do ionic cordova platform add android and then when that completes, I do ionic cordova build android…

Today when adding the platform, I got this message:

Failed to install 'cordova-plugin-ionic': CordovaError: Version of installed plugin: "cordova-plugin-ionic-webview@1.2.1" does not satisfy dependency plugin requirement "cordova-plugin-ionic-webview@>=2.0.0". Try --force to use installed plugin as dependency.

So I updated the webview plugin to version 2.0.0 and also updated cordova-android version from 6.3.0 to 6.4.0 as needed by the webview plugin. I also updated cordova-plugin-ionic to ^4.2.0.

Everything else is the same as it always is.

I do ionic cordova platform add android and it works fine.

I do ionic cordova build android and at the very end I get these 3 errors:

Any one have any ideas? I can’t seem to build anymore and I can’t get past this error.

Here’s my ionic info if it helps:

Same problem here. Solution from another post

cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-ionic-webview
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-ionic-webview@latest

delete platform directory

ionic cordova platform add android

Can now build locally and package successfully on ionic pro

ccdex_chris · July 25, 2018, 5:25pm

Thanks for reply, but didn’t work in this situation. Still the same error.

I am facing the same problem in ionic pro.
The android build fails but the ios build completes.

But locally the android build completes:

onic)

nowrap · July 27, 2018, 8:43am

I contacted the ionic support and got the ionic pro android build working againg:

I use cordova-check-plugins for updating:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/cordova-check-plugins

ccdex_chris · July 27, 2018, 3:09pm

If you still have this issue, try updating cordova-plugin-ionic to 5.0.2. They just released this update yesterday which works with cordova-android < 7.0.0 which was the issue.

@ccdex_chris I do not have cordova-plugin-ionic in my plugins list and still have this issue. Cannot figure out what the problem is.
