I am an ionic user, and can confirm there is a issue with version 1.9.1 of the facebook4 plugin which is causing this.

There are two ways to fix this, one quick workaround, and one solution.

  1. To fix it so that you can build straight away, do the following: Add the following code to the end of the build.gradle file in platforms/android.

    configurations.all { resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details -> def requested = details.requested if (requested.group == 'com.android.support') { if (!requested.name.startsWith("multidex")) { details.useVersion '25.3.1' } } } }

  2. A better fix is by using this plugin: cordova plugin add cordova-android-support-gradle-release, which should sort out any of the dependency issues.

The issue is discussed (at length) here: https://github.com/jeduan/cordova-plugin-facebook4/issues/507

Remove the facebook4 plugin and reinstall the old version 1.7.4

cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-facebook4

cordova plugin add [email protected] --save --variable APP_ID="<myid>" --variable APP_NAME="<myname>"

It works for me.
