I know it's a very late answer, incase someone still facing this issues in 2019.

It's caused due to gradle, add this gradle support plugin and it should be fine:

cordova plugin add cordova-android-support-gradle-release

run into the same error. found this solution to fix it:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/49172982/7655348

Replace com.android.support:support-v4:+ with com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.0 in project.properties file under platform/android folder

  • This fixed my issue, I had multiple entries for 'com.android.support:support' in project.properties with mixed values. (Probably from different plugins) Setting them all to the most specific seemed to fix the error (24.1.1+ for me) – self.name Aug 14 '18 at 17:14

Also this solution worked for me:

https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/failed-build-for-android-execution-failed-for-task-app-processdebugresources/124551/3

Go to platforms/android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml and add:

<string name="fb_app_id">YOUR_FB_APP_ID</string>
<string name="fb_app_name">YOUR_FB_APP_NAME</string>

Then I had to did cordova clean and ionic cordova build android

This is due to compat plugin. Remove that plugin if you have older version (less than 1.2.0) and set cordova-android@6.3.0

cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-compat --force

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-compat@1.2.0

cordova platform rm android

ionic cordova platform add android@6.3.0

Working at my case. Thanks :)

Actually this is a android support problem. so first find out which android support library installed in your android sdk.

in my sdk com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+ so i replaced the code in project.properites file

cordova.system.library.1=com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+

I just solve this issue by removing this line of code cordova.system.library.15=com.android.support:support-v4:+ , and the path to the file is platforms/android/project.properties

Visit project.properties in your Ionic project...that is platform/android/project.properties

and replace like below

Project target.

target=android-26
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
android.library.reference.2=app
cordova.system.library.1=com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+
cordova.system.library.2=com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23+
cordova.gradle.include.1=cordova-plugin-telerik-imagepicker/multipurposetheme- 
ignorelinterrors.gradle
cordova.gradle.include.2=cordova-plugin-telerik-imagepicker/multipurposetheme- 
androidtarget.gradle
cordova.system.library.3=com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.0

This problem occurred after i uninstall the Firebase plugin.

I tried alot of things but the simplest solution that i found was start a new project and replace the src folder with the new contents.
