What are the correct steps to do before generate an APK?

rodrigoguariento · August 27, 2018, 5:51pm

Dears,

Every time that a will execute “ionic cordova emulate android” I got a bunch of errors.

I have two Android smartphones to install my APK, one 4.4.2 and other 8.0.0. First time that I built an APK file, I managed to execute it into my Android 8.0.0, and I had problems to execute into 4.4.2.

After googled a lot I’ve found that we need to add platform android@6.0.0 to run the APK in Android 4.4.2 (I suppose it’s correct). Then, what I did? I’ve removed platforms and plugins directory. I ran
“ionic cordova platform add android@6.0.0” and after “ionic cordova emulate android”. Again a bunch of errors!

I’m using Ubuntu 18.10 and Android Studio, both in latest version.

What combination of “SDK Platforms” and “Android SDK Build-Tools” I need to avoid errors during compilation/build/emulate? Only this combinations is enough? What are the correct steps to compile my Ionic Project to Android 4.4.2 or later?

Thanks.

No, that is absolutely not necessary. cordova-android 7.1.1 (the current version) also supports Android 4.4.x: Android Platform Guide - Apache Cordova

Your Cordova tooling seems to be out of date, which might be causing all kinds of problems.
You can read about how to figure out the current Cordova versions and how to update CLI, platforms and plugins here: How to update Cordova CLI, Platforms and Plugins · ionic.zone

Thank you very much!

First I ran “npm update -g cordova ionic”.

$ ionic info
✔ Gathering environment info - done!

Ionic:

   ionic (Ionic CLI)  : 4.1.1 (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/ionic)
   Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.9.2
   @ionic/app-scripts : 3.1.9

Cordova:

   cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.0.0
   Cordova Platforms     : android 6.0.0
   Cordova Plugins       : cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.1.2, cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 1.2.1, (and 5 other plugins)

System:

   NodeJS : v8.10.0 (/usr/bin/node)
   npm    : 6.1.0
   OS     : Linux 4.15

Then I removed “platforms” directory and I ran again “ionic cordova platform add android@latest”. No errors were found now.

               This plugin is only applicable for versions of cordova-android greater than 4.0. If you have a previous platform version, you do *not* need this plugin since the whitelist will be built in.

But to not say that all was bed of roses, after I ran “ionic serve -c” I’ve found the following errors:

That I’ve solved with “npm install angularfire2 firebase --save”. Finally I ran: “ionic cordova emulate android”:

I got the APK and I installed it into Android 4.4.2 and 8.0.0 typing “./adb install -r myApp.apk”. Now all is working fine! Thanks again!
