Failed to load resource file:///android_asset/www/cordova_plugins.js Ionic CLI Version: 2.0.0-alpha.18

Question

I recently updated my Ionic CLI version to 2.0.0-alpha.18 and since then whenever I try to build out my app using Ionic build android, when I run the apk on my device I get this error message:

Failed to load resource file:///android_asset/www/cordova_plugins.js

other info: Cordova CLI: 5.4.0 Gulp version: CLI version 3.9.0 Gulp local: Local version 3.9.0 Ionic Version: 1.1.0 Ionic CLI Version: 2.0.0-alpha.18 Ionic App Lib Version: 2.0.0-alpha.17 OS: Windows 8.1 Node Version: v0.12.7

Anyone else have this problem?

apparently you don't have `cordova_plugin.js file` , straight up. — Prashant Ghimire, Dec 07 '15 at 11:23
as far as I understand that file is supposed to be included at build time in the build process and you just need to have this include in your index.html file : — user3407300, Dec 07 '15 at 12:43
yes, `cordova.js` not `cordova_plugins.js`. How about reverting back to the latest stable Ionic CLI, which is v1.7.11? — Pete Houston, Dec 07 '15 at 13:01

I think I fixed the problem. I had to run: ionic platform remove android and then ionic platform add android and then the build worked
