Couple days ago I did a ionic platform remove android and ionic plaform add android in order to check my progress in a certain feature in my code, and after I tried that I no longer can build an apk.
That does not make any sense to me since I didn't change another thing.
First error I was receiving said:
:processDebugManifest/Users/larissaarruda/Documents/mycode/platforms/android/AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-86 Error:
Attribute application@appComponentFactory value=(androidx.core.app.CoreComponentFactory) from [androidx.core:core:1.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-86
is also present at [com.android.support:support-compat:28.0.0] AndroidManifest.xml:22:18-91 value=(android.support.v4.app.CoreComponentFactory).
Suggestion: add 'tools:replace="android:appComponentFactory"' to <application> element at AndroidManifest.xml:5:5-60:19 to override.
See http://g.co/androidstudio/manifest-merger for more information about the manifest merger.

I tried this solution cordova plugin add cordova-android-support-gradle-release --fetch but it did not help me, only changed error message to

Failed to execute aapt
I also tried cleaning gradle cache by removing .gradle/caches and after I tried build the app again, it came up with same error Failed to execute aapt.
