When I attempted to run Cordova on my Android device using "cordova run android / cordova build", I encountered the following error:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this? I already tried build/clean but it didn't work.
Thank you in advance.
After experiencing two days of challenges due to the recent update of "android X" for firebase libraries:
https://developer.android.com/jetpack/androidx/migrate
The solution is as follows: Make sure to do the following:
For a Cordova project, simply add the following plugins:
These plugins will resolve build errors and ensure everything functions smoothly :)
To prevent automatic updates for specific services in your Android project, simply add the following code block to the build-extras.gradle file inside the platform/android folder:
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
force 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.1'
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-tagmanager:16.0.8'
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.1.0'
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-tasks:16.0.1'
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement:16.2.0'
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:16.1.0'
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-stats:16.0.1'
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:16.0.0'
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.0.1'
force 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:16.0.0'
}
}
This will ensure that the build process uses the specified versions of these services instead of automatically updating them.
There's no need to modify any plugins or change the android platform version when using this method :)
PS It can be frustrating when Firebase libraries are updated automatically. Unfortunately, disabling auto dependency updates during the build command may not be possible at this time.
Encountering a similar issue, I built on Friday without any trouble but faced an error 'Execution failed for task': app: processDebugResources' when attempting the build on Monday. The error included a stacktrace on Aapt2Exception: AAPT2 error.
It seems that this problem is related to Google releasing new versions of support-v4 and api-level updates.
According to this source, installing the cordova-android-support-gradle-release plugin can resolve the issue.
Add the following code snippet in the build.gradle file located in the platforms/android directory:configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy.force 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.0'
}
While this solution didn't work for me, there might have been an error in my implementation. Hopefully, it resolves your issue.
--- UPDATE 1
Google recently updated the Google Play service libraries and Firebase on June 17, 2019, which could be directly linked to our problem. They suggest the following modifications:
In the case of Cordova applications, implementing these changes may not be straightforward, especially during a release cycle update. This situation can be frustrating.
--- UPDATE 2
To address the issue temporarily, I edited the project.properties file within the platforms/android directory.
I revised all the libraries marked with "+" to a specific version before the one released on the 17th. Refer to this link, although this method is not ideal as the file might get deleted during platform removal and re-inclusion.
--- UPDATE 3
As pointed out by Leonardo, this issue arises due to the updates in firebase and play service libraries alongside automatic cordova dependency updates. Resolving this involves using the configurations.all code in a build-extras.gradle file at the project's root directory + employing hooks for automating the setup copy to the platform/android directory as detailed in this resource.
