Hi I have the same issue for the last couple of days. It build earlier without any issues.
I have this issue when i build ionic 1 and ionic 4 app, which made me think if it is something related to my system or due to updating cordova to 9.0.0. So i tried building the apps on another system?. It works fine in the second system. So i think this is related to system heap. but i can’t figure out a way to overcome this. Any solution?

Hi sahibsingh,
after scratching my head for almost 3d, i finally found the solution.

When i tried building on the second system,my environment path for java home showed error. i corrected it at that time without looking at the version number. When i cross checked both builds, i found out that i am having an older version of jdk on my first system
The issue was caused by java. I had jdk8u231 installed on my system. Around 2 weeks ago jdk8u241 was released.I uninstalled my previous versions of jdk and jre and installed the new version and now my build works fine. My other system has automatic update turned on, so it already got the update on connecting to wifi.
I suggest you try the same. Uninstall java from control panel->programs andinstall the latest version of jdk. Make sure to correct the environment variable and restart the system before building app again

Thanks

Hi sahibsingh,
Did you find the solution for this.

7

did you try reinstalling node modules and plugin

8

Yes, I reinstalled the node modules & plugin, Android platform

9

My problem is solved when i studied the android requirements page. Install the same Android platforms, jdk which is mentioned in the andriod requirements pages. if you are using any thing latest like latest jdk or anything, u r cordova will not build the apk file. In my case i was using the latest jdk which is not supported by cordova 9. So install everything same to same which is mentioned in ionic android requirements page. i am giving the link here.
