Hi, @vnyksj .

It works. What I do is remove all the icon and splash image inside the ./resources/android (broken image maybe).
Then generate again by running ionic cordova resources and build it again.

Thanks a lot.

This solution isnt working for me.

I removed both ios and android folders in resources and then used the command ionic cordova resources to generate resources again.

Then I tried ionic cordova run android but it generates below errors:

I am trying it with very basic project generated using command ionic start MyProject blank, no additional plugin installed no custom code added just default project.

Even i had it but did followings to fix it
Delete the icon files under android resources folder then run the command
ionic cordova resources --icon
then ran fine :slight_smile:

Wow my God! This is true. OK for me!

Yes problem occurs with the images in both icon and splash folders. What i did was copy from another working icon and splash folder and it works. Thanks fikrie_uno.

it works for me too.
First you should input ionic cordova resorces and then
ionic cordova build android, that will create the apk for install in your phone

Hello guys,
I had this same project when developing an application.
I tried everything I saw on the web and nothing fixed the problem.
So I had the idea to stop the protection of my antivirus, and only then I was able to build it successfully.
Try this, pause the antivirus and again run the command: ionic cordova run android.
Thanks a lot.

Don’t know why but deleting all resources and regenerating with ionic cordova resources solved it. Thanks guys!

Yes, the real culprit in my case.
I wasted my whole day on this.

  • Uninstalled native plugins
  • Deleted my build-tool 27.0.3 (since aapt.exe file was deleted by my m*** f** antivirus)
  • Reinstalled build-tools
  • Removed my resources
    so on…

I owe you a handshake @rafaelfilholm :slight_smile:
