I have an Ionic project that after upgrading to OSx Mojave, for some reason is not building anymore.

The project is built over Ionic 3.

I have Cordova CLI 7.0.0

When I run

ionic cordova run android

I get this error when trying to build:

* What went wrong:
Could not resolve all files for configuration ':debugCompileClasspath'.
> Could not find support-v4.aar (com.android.support:support-v4:26.1.0).
  Searched in the following locations:
      https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/support/support-v4/26.1.0/support-v4-26.1.0.aar

I tried changing build.gradle, downgrading cordova, upgrading cordova, tried with different android versions, but still the same issue.

Any ideas what might be wrong here?

I'm currently not really sure what causes the issue but here's what helped me:

Look inside you build.gradle files under platforms/android and platforms/android/app and move jcenter() dependency to the bottom of the repositories.

repositories {
    maven {
        url "https://maven.google.com"
    }
    jcenter()
}

I also faced the same issue and fixed by workaround below. That works for me.
Change following lines in the file project.properties from your_project_folder\platforms\android

cordova.system.library.2=com.android.support:support-v4:25.+
cordova.system.library.3=com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.+

I also faced this issue yesterday...

I do following changes in my build.gradle

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }
        jcenter()
    }
}

Just added jcenter() below maven

I faced this issue with ionic 5 - cordova, and I have sloved this by remove this line implementation "com.android.support:support-v4:26.+" in build.gradle(Module:android.app) > dependencies

dependencies {
implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
// SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES START
implementation(project(path: ":CordovaLib"))
implementation "com.android.support:support-v4:27.+"
//implementation "com.android.support:support-v4:26.+"
// SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES END

}
