Ionic with Cordova, Androidmanifest.xml build error

Question

When in my console I give the command to compile my project in Ionic and Cordova, I get the following message:

:mergeArmv7DebugResources UP-TO-DATE
        :processArmv7DebugManifestC:\apps\vovocooks-v10\platforms\android\AndroidManifest.xml:28:13-35 Error:

At first I thought the problem was google.service.Google Messenge FCM Jason, I fixed it, but now it’s in some configuration of my Androidmanifest.xml, which is like this way:

I’ve looked in forums and even in the FCM documentation, but I can’t fix it. How can I fix?

Answer 1

You must be using several versions Sdks of Android.

Add this at the end of the file build.gradle

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
        def requested = details.requested
        if (requested.group == 'com.android.support') {
            if (!requested.name.startsWith("multidex")) {
                details.useVersion '26.0.2'
            }
        }
    }
}

Other option

Altere in the Androidmanifest.xml

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.ionicframework.vovocooksv7862011"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">

And add to the tag application

tools:replace="android:value"

Answer 2

I decided, in addition to what was mentioned by @Wéllingthon M. de Souza, I changed the values that were "null" in:

apply from: 'CordovaLib/cordova.gradle'
    // The value for android.compileSdkVersion.
    if (!project.hasProperty('cdvCompileSdkVersion')) {
        cdvCompileSdkVersion = 23;
    }
    // The value for android.buildToolsVersion.
    if (!project.hasProperty('cdvBuildToolsVersion')) {
        cdvBuildToolsVersion = "23.0.2";
    }

And I also added as mentioned in the tip, but with version 23:

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
        def requested = details.requested
        if (requested.group == 'com.android.support') {
            if (!requested.name.startsWith("multidex")) {
                details.useVersion '23.0.1'
        }
        }
    }
}
