SOLVED!!!

Looking for a solution I have found a solution that worked for me and I would like to share it with you, maybe could help you like me.

Add the following code at the end of app module build.gradle file

Path:
/Ionic_appFolder/platform/android/build.gradle

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
        def requested = details.requested
        if (requested.group == 'com.android.support') {
            if (!requested.name.startsWith("multidex")) {
                details.useVersion '25.3.0'
            }
        }
    }
}
