I've started a new project on my computer but I'm not able anymore to build for android
When I run
ionic cordova platform run android
I get this error :
All flavors must now belong to a named flavor dimension.
I get the same error and i have created a script to solve it.
As there was said in the answer, the problem is: gradle 4 wants flavorDimensions on gradle.build.
If you check here: https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/#extending-buildgradle
We can create a file named gradle-extra.build with will be included on gradle.build, we just need to create a script to paste this file on /platform/android/.
So i created this file build-extras.gradle in my project root
android {
flavorDimensions "default"
}
and the script on ./hooks/after_platform_add/copy_build-extras.gradle.js
#!/usr/bin/env node
var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');
if(fs.existsSync(path.resolve(__dirname, '../../platforms/android'))) {
fs.createReadStream(path.resolve(__dirname, '../../build-extras.gradle')).pipe(fs.createWriteStream(path.resolve(__dirname, '../../platforms/android/build-extras.gradle')));
}
You can check about hooks here: https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/appdev/hooks/index.html
every script under /hooks/after_platform_add will be executed after ionic platform add ***
With this, we don't need to downgrade gradle nor change cordova-android version.
