this error randomly popped up after i tried running my ionic cordova app. this not only happens on my branch ive been working on but also with every other branch i try to run, which leads me to believe it is something with my machine. ive tried restarting and reinstalling the packages and it hasnt solved the issue.
> ionic-app-scripts.cmd build --target cordova --platform android
