Execution failed for task ':processDebugResources' on Ionic

Question

I have an issue with Ionic command : Ionic build android

Here the tutorial Salesforce i'm following to create an app connected to the Salesforce API. (contact, etc.).

Now, when i mudt build android, I have this issue :

:processDebugResources
/home/r.**/Workspace/IonicApp/platforms/android/build/intermediates/manifests/full/debug/AndroidManifest.xml:32: error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '@drawable/sf__icon').

 FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Execution failed for task ':processDebugResources'.

Error: /home/r.**/Workspace/IonicApp/platforms/android/gradlew: Command failed with exit code 1

I restart the tutorial 2 times and i still have this error. Maybe because I do an Android App and not an Ios like the tutorial.

What is this file missing and where is it supposed to be?

Some info:

• I create an Android App.

• Cordova-android is version 5.0.0 because 6.0.0 do a mismatch issue with the api salesforce.

• I'm a beginner with Ionic/Cordova and mobile dev. Maybe the solution is oubvious.

Answer 1

The error output suggests that the build just fails due to a missing icon resource: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'icon' with value '@drawable/sf__icon').

The SalesforceSDK includes those files though, however they do not seem to be added to the Android project correctly:

https://github.com/forcedotcom/SalesforceMobileSDK-CordovaPlugin/tree/master/src/android/libs/SalesforceSDK/res

Copy-pasting might resolve the problem though, still wondering why the plugin does not add the drawables as expected in the res/drawable folder!
