I dont know how to solve this error can any one help me thanks for advance

I got a similar error recently, and resolved it by using this method :wink:

  1. Update the Gradle programm to latest version !

  2. Remove all the project’s build structure by deleting this folder : [ProjectFolder]/platforms/android

  3. Rebuild the project’s build structure by typing :
    ionic cordova build android

I hope it helps you.

Just follow this path inside your project folder:

/platforms/android/project.properties

Open the file, try to find these lines from here:

target=android-26
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
android.library.reference.2=app
cordova.system.library.1=com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+
cordova.gradle.include.1=cordova-plugin-googlemaps/pushapp-tbxml-android.gradle
cordova.system.library.2=com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.6.2
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.6.2
cordova.system.library.4=com.android.support:support-core-utils:24.1.0
cordova.system.library.5=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.6.2
cordova.system.library.6=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.6.2
cordova.system.library.7=com.android.support:support-v13:26.+
cordova.system.library.8=me.leolin:ShortcutBadger:1.1.17@aar
cordova.system.library.9=com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.6.2
cordova.gradle.include.2=phonegap-plugin-push/pushapp-push.gradle
cordova.system.library.10=com.android.support:support-v4:25.+
cordova.system.library.11=com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.+

and, replace last 2 lines with

cordova.system.library.10=com.android.support:support-v4:26.+

cordova.system.library.11=com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+

Then run/build your ionic project…
Enjoy… :+1:
