i want to build ionic project to .aab file but get error like this

I issue a command like this

1. npm install @capacitor/android
2. ionic capacitor add android
3. ionic capacitor sync android
4. cd anroid/
5. gradlew bundle

and then an error like this comes out

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

  • What went wrong:
    Task ‘bundle’ not found in root project ‘android’.

  • Try:
    Run gradlew tasks to get a list of available tasks. Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

  • Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.
Use ‘–warning-mode all’ to show the individual deprecation warnings.
See Command-Line Interface

my ionic version is 5.4.16

is there something wrong, let me know if there is a way out thank you

This question seems like a better fit for the Capacitor forum than the React forum.

That said, you need to build with Android Studio, not gradlew.

run npx cap open android, this will open android studio, go to build and select the build method you want.

run the –stacktrace option it will give us a more into depth reason as to why its refusing to build but try the first option on top
