How to solve Source path does not exist: resources/android/xml/network_security_config.xml

Question

I do build with ionic 4.

ionic cordova build android

Got this error

cordova build android

Source path does not exist: resources/android/xml/network_security_config.xml [ERROR] An error occurred while running subprocess cordova.

I removed this part from config.xml. Is it fine?

    <edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">         <application android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config" />     </edit-config>     <resource-file src="resources/android/xml/network_security_config.xml" target="app/src/main/res/xml/network_security_config.xml" />

FOR VALIDATOR ONLY: Is it a stackoverflow or an art competition? Hello validator - you bother me day by day. This post contains enough of text.

Answer 1

Examine the resources folder if the xml folder exists in /android, if it doesn't just create it like..

resources/     android/         xml/            network_security_config.xml 

Enter the following inside the file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <network-security-config>   <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">     <domain includeSubdomains="true">localhost</domain>   </domain-config> </network-security-config>
