Cordova Android 6.4.0 creates res folder top level not inside platforms android

Question

After upading cordova and my project from 6.3.1 to 6.4.0, when I build the Android version, it generates the res folder with splash screens and icons files, at top level of the project, instead of at platforms/android/res where it should. Thus my app has the default cordova icons and splash screens instead of mine.

Is this a bug in the new Cordova version? Does anyone know of a setting that could prevent this? It was working ok when I used 6.3.1 .

Thanks.

Answer 1

This issue is solved in cordova-android 6.1.0 but if you try cordova platform update android at this moment doesn't update to 6.1.0.

Run

cordova platform update [email protected] --save
cordova platform rm android
cordova platform add android

to solve this issue.

Some people seem to still have the issue after the command above... Try:

cordova platform update [email protected] --save
cordova platform rm android
cordova platform add android

You can also try: android@latest ....

Also try: ionic resources --icon

I'm using that version and it works, let me know if it solved the problem...

Answer 2

after updating to cordova 6.4.0

cordova platform update [email protected] --save cordova platform rm android cordova platform add android

did not fix the issue for me, I had to manually copy the resources from res to android/res
