Cordova pruning error for android config.xml

Question

When I run cordova build android I get the following error:

Error: Pruning at selector "widget" from "/Library/WebServer/Documents/app/app-name/platforms/android/res/xml/config.xml" went bad.

I have tried reinstalling the Android platform several times, but no luck.

I am using Cordova 6.1.1, Android 5.1.1 and have updated Android Studio to the latest Dev tools and SDK.

Anyone else experienced this problem? I can't find anything similar online.

Answer 1

If anyone else experiences this issue, I fixed it by:

• Removing all platforms.
• Removing all plugins
• Update Cordova
• Add all platforms
• Add all plugins

Build Android should run successfully.
