Platform-adding error after updating to rc0

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hi,

I’m currently in the process of updating my app from beta7 (yeah, it’s been that long) to rc0. Actually, I’m done changing everything according to the changelog (following the steps of each version change … beta8 through 11 and then rc0). I had to change major parts of my app due to the export of Storage/SQLite which was a two-day long pain in the youknowwhat.

Now I’m at the point where everything should be up to date. When I do ionic run android with the latest ionic CLI etc installed, it shows this:

D:\ionic2\myApp>ionic run android

 Error: Command failed: cordova platform add android
Error: Platform android already added.

    at ChildProcess.exithandler (child_process.js:206:12)
    at emitTwo (events.js:106:13)

Which is weird, because the platform Android had been added to the project way before.

To see if there is something wrong with my setup, I’ve tested the Hello World and it worked perfectly fine.

Where does this error come from?

In the meantime, I started a new Ionic2 Project (RC1) and copied the files of my app over one by one and altered the code accordingly. This time, the app works. But don’t ask me what is different :smiley:
