global packages:

@ionic/cli-utils : 1.3.0
Cordova CLI      : 7.0.1 
Ionic CLI        : 3.3.0

local packages:

@ionic/cli-plugin-ionic-angular : 1.3.0
Cordova Platforms               : android 6.2.3 ios 4.4.0
Ionic Framework                 : ionic-angular 3.3.0

System:

Node       : v6.10.3
OS         : macOS Sierra
Xcode      : Xcode 8.3.1 Build version 8E1000a 
ios-deploy : not installed
ios-sim    : 5.0.13

I am getting this error every time

parthas-MacBook-Pro:App parthpratim$ ionic cordova platform add android

cordova platform add android --save
Running command - failed!

[ERROR] Cordova encountered an error.
You may get more insight by running the Cordova command above directly.

[ERROR] An error occurred while running cordova platform add android --save (exit code 1):

    Using cordova-fetch for cordova-android@^6.2.3
   Error: Platform android already added.

i Have tried the below too
parthas-MacBook-Pro:App parthpratim$ cordova platform add android
Using cordova-fetch for cordova-android@^6.2.3
Error: Platform android already added.
parthas-MacBook-Pro:App parthpratim$ cordova run android

Why do you want to add the platform again?

partha_pratim · June 8, 2017, 1:44pm

Accually its not added, there is no platform folder, when i ran “cordova run android” it is asking me to add platform.

reedrichards · June 8, 2017, 1:47pm

Really?
I thought it was ok since the msg says the platform is there

 Using cordova-fetch for cordova-android@^6.2.3
 Error: Platform android already added.

Maybe trying to remove it and add it again?

ionic cordova platform rm android --save
ionic cordova platform add android@latest --save

partha_pratim · June 8, 2017, 1:55pm

yes also i cant see the platform folder like my old ionic 2 app.

Let me try your given command, will get back to you

This is strange, Package and name are showing the old app

reedrichards · June 8, 2017, 2:06pm

Looks better…now in your config.xml find the line where you’ve got

 drawable-hdpi-icon.png

and remove the line (or create the icon, but for test at least will be faster to remove it)

Then rm/add the platform again

partha_pratim · June 9, 2017, 6:47am

Its not working , Package and name are showing the old app

reedrichards · June 9, 2017, 6:59am

what do you mean? did you remove the drawable-hdpi-icon.png in your config.xml? did you remove and add the platform again?

could you plz paste the ALL log of the cmd you are running?

partha_pratim · June 9, 2017, 7:03am

yes i removed the drawable-hdpi-icon.png from config.xml then ran the below command

parthas-MacBook-Pro:App parthpratim$ ionic cordova platform rm android

cordova platform remove android --save
Running command - done!
Removing platform android from config.xml file…
parthas-MacBook-Pro:App parthpratim$ ionic cordova platform add android@latest

Can you see the name : TrapApp? why it is showing here any idea ? its my old project

reedrichards · June 9, 2017, 7:20am

Do you use windows?

Found that post https://stackoverflow.com/a/40458796/5404186 maybe this solution works for you?

partha_pratim · June 9, 2017, 7:23am

i am using mac, i have seen the post earlier dint work for me either

reedrichards · June 9, 2017, 7:25am

well I’m out of ideas. If you removed the line

<icon density="hdpi" src="resources\android\icon\drawable-hdpi-icon.png" />

from your config.xml, I don’t understand why you still got the error.

Sujan12 · June 9, 2017, 7:58am

I’d make sure that the file exists by running ionic cordova resources again (or just create one manually). Seems like an easy fix.

Are you sure you are in the right directory and everything?

parthas-MacBook-Pro:App parthpratim$ clear

parthas-MacBook-Pro:App parthpratim$ ionic cordova resources

[ERROR] No platforms have been added. Please run: ionic cordova platform add

yes i am on the right directory.

But when i run ionic cordova platform add android

parthas-MacBook-Pro:App parthpratim$ ionic cordova platform add android
> cordova platform add android --save
✖ Running command - failed!

Sujan12 · June 9, 2017, 8:24am

That is pretty clear.
If you want to add it again (for whatever reason), you have to remove it first: ionic cordova platform remove android

And again:

partha_pratim · June 9, 2017, 8:37am

I already added </> button

if it is already added then why i am getting below error.
ionic cordova resources ✔ Collecting resource configuration and source images - done! [ERROR] No platforms have been added. Please run: ionic cordova platform add

Sujan12 · June 9, 2017, 9:28am

Seems something is wrong.

Post your current ionic info output again please.

Ok, so ionic info recognizes the platforms which means that cordova platform list does, too.

Now run ionic cordova resources --verbose.
