Ionic Framework

Build platform Android

Problem

After calling ionic cordova build android the gradle version is not set correctly (4.1 instead of 4.6)

Solution

• Go to folder APP_FOLDER/platforms/android/cordova/lib/builders/
• Open file GradleBuilder.js and change gradle version to gradle-4.6-all.zip in line var distributionUrl = process.env['CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL'] || 'https\\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip';
• Repeat this for file StudioBuilder.js

Problem

npm install jetifier
npx jetify
npx cap sync android

Run platform iOS

Problem

Currently, the iOS project build with cordova uses the old build system. The command ionic cordova run ios runs into the error /platforms/ios/build/emulator/StApps.app/Info.plist file not found.

Solution

• Either use the command: ionic cordova emulate ios -- --buildFlag="-UseModernBuildSystem=0"
• Or open the iOS project in Xcode and change build system in workspace settings to Lagacy Build System. Then the normal run command works also.
