I have a Ionic 3 project, when I run "ionic cordova run android --prod" I see

[ERROR] Cordova encountered an error.
        You may get more insight by running the Cordova command above directly.

[ERROR] An error occurred while running cordova run android (exit code 1).

I did not recieve this error before running Ionic.

The 01.org server seems to be down. So till the servers are back online, you can ask Gradle to use the local copy of Crosswalk.

I was having the same issue from last one hour. The following solution worked for me.

Open platforms\android\cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview\*-xwalk.gradle file in your project directory, where * is your project name.

Look for the section -

dependencies {
    compile xwalkSpec
}

Replace it with your exact Crosswalk version which you find in Chrome Developer Tools by typing window.navigator.userAgent in your Developer Tools console.

So your final data would look something like this -

dependencies {
    compile 'org.xwalk:xwalk_core_library:23.53.589.4'
}

As a supplement, there are another two ways to get xwalk_core_library version, you can use either of them: - 1. Go to `platforms/android/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/org.xwalk/xwalk_core_library/`, then you can see version like "19.49.514.5"
- 2. In the [Google cache](https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:nAtp2KW5upYJ:https://download.01.org/crosswalk/releases/crosswalk/android/maven2/org/xwalk/xwalk_core_library/+&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk), you can select a version number – Zhongyuan Zhou Sep 04 '17 at 06:08

The above worked for 32bit build but for 64bit build (built with --xwalk64bit flag) it creates API file without including xwalk libs – Alex Ryltsov Sep 04 '17 at 12:04

Looks like changing compile xwalkSpec to compile 'org.xwalk:xwalk_core_library:22.52.561.4' + BIT_64 did the trick for 64bit build – Alex Ryltsov Sep 04 '17 at 12:23

1 Get crosswalk version

There are another two ways to get xwalk_core_library version, you can use either of them:

Go to platforms/android/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/org.xwalk‌/xwalk_core_library/‌, then you can see version like 19.49.514.5
In the Google cache, you can select a version number

2 Change the gradle

Just like @hemantv said, in file platforms\android\cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview*-xwalk.gradle

Change the file form

dependencies {
    compile xwalkSpec
}

to

dependencies {
    compile 'org.xwalk:xwalk_core_library:19.49.514.5'
}

19.49.514.5 is the version get from the step one.

Another way, you can use this plugin temporarily:

cordova plugin add https://github.com/zhouzhongyuan/cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview

It just fixed this error.

Get Crosswalk version

As answered by Zhongyuan Zhou, there are ways to get locally saved Crosswalk library on your project, but I prefer the following:

Go to platforms/android/build/intermediates/exploded-aar/org.xwalk‌/xwalk_core_library/‌, then you can see version like 22.52.561.4

Modify config.xml

Add the following into your config.xml

<preference name="xwalkVersion" value="xwalk_core_library:22.52.561.4" />

Compile the Android build

Do the usual ionic cordova build android to build the Android APK or ionic cordova run android to build and run / install the Android app on an emulator or device.

Reference: https://forum.ionicframework.com/t/server-error-with-crosswalk-when-running-ionic-run-android/104009/15

This is a better way to go than modifying the gradle file of a platform — Slartibartfast, Sep 05 '17 at 04:01

This is follow up to hemantv's answer. I was panicking but his answer saved my day, and I was able to successfully compile the app using the locally stored xwalk.

This is what I did and i hope it helps someone out there who's stuck with the same predicament.

I found out the Crosswalk version I have stored locally by running a search (including sub directorys) for "xwalk_core_library" in my app directory and found the file "org.xwalk-xwalk_core_library-17.46.448.10_9bf812c8b76a44fdb31553d48df45b60d1362adc.jar" and figured out the version I had was "org.xwalk-xwalk_core_library-17.46.448.10" (everything after the underscore "_" is irrelevant)

I followed the instructions and opened up the platforms\android\cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview*-xwalk.gradle in a text editor

found

dependencies {
    compile xwalkSpec
}

replaced with

dependencies {    
    compile 'org.xwalk:xwalk_core_library:17.46.448.10'
}

reattempted to compile and it worked like a charm.
