Hi

When I run: ionic cordova build --release android (of course after add platform)

Show me this error…

 ![](https://udemy-images.s3.amazonaws.com:443/redactor/raw/2018-10-03_22-28-03-bb2bce418b350dbf1af4cca68ed9e0a8.jpg)

I know that is something with Facebook about the id and name,  
I already install the plugins of Facebook and ran this command :

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-facebook4 --variable APP\_ID=“123456789” --variable APP\_NAME=“myApplication”

ofcourse with my id app and name.

I try several times to remove and add the platform and build the project but still no working

any help?

thanks

Ah yes I ran into the same issue on a project. The solution for me was adding the following lines to `/platforms/android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml`

```auto
<string name="fb_app_id">123456789</string>
<string name="fb_app_name">michael.busby</string>

```

You can also try this solution to save digging through the platforms folder: [https://github.com/jeduan/cordova-plugin-facebook4/issues/599#issuecomment-355259914](https://github.com/jeduan/cordova-plugin-facebook4/issues/599#issuecomment-355259914)
