Help with BUILD FAILED Android Ionic

Ionic Framework ionic-v3

I tried with “cordova clean”, but I did not work.

Somebody could help me with another solution.

Thanks,

cordova clean for the win, AFTER adding the multiDexEnabled true to the platform/android/build.gradle file.

Thanks this worked for me too.

npm i cordova-plugin-multidex Helped for me

Thanks @codiqa100051260, You helped me. I was getting this error after removing a cordova plugin.

Thanks for this. It was all I needed do to. I didn’t have to update the build.gradle file.

As with @virendrashakya, it was after I had removed, then updated a cordova plugin. It was related to the ionic webview vulnerability recently reported. Although Android isn’t affected, I thought I’d better just rebuild my Android version anyway.

thank you .It worked for me too

this worked for me: cordova plugin add --save https://github.com/jwall149/cordova-multidex

as found at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34259679/enable-multidex-for-android-in-ionic-framework

Thank you. cordova clean command saves my day.

Great!, it worked for me too.

For anyone having this problem after updating their cordova and ionic versions to latest, I fixed this by adding the minSdk and targetSdk versions to the config.xml:

    <platform name="android">
        <preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="21" />
        <preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="28" />

I chose 21 as it seems after that min version, the multidex thing isn’t an issue any more when running:

ionic cordova build android

and

ionic cordova build android --prod

However, when I add the --release flag, it still errors. Will update when I have the fix for that.

Hope this helps.

I switched from

<preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="19" />

to

<preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="21" />

After that my android app successfully build
