Ionic : Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'

Issue

When running the cordova build android command i get this error.

Execution failed for task ':app:mergeDebugResources'.

When i tried running this command a few days ago it made the apk, but now it won't anymore. i didn't change anything either

i tried running ionic cordova resources again so that maybe it wouldn't chrash on the image again

Does anyone else have this issue? What causes this?

Solution

I fixed the problem. I deleted the plugin and platform map. After that i ran the commands cordova prepare for the plugins and cordova build android to set everything up again.
