Answer 1

Actually this is a android support problem. so first find out which android support library installed in your android sdk.

in my sdk com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+ so i replaced the code in project.properites file

cordova.system.library.1=com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+

Answer 2

in the project folder try:

cordova clean
ionic cordova build <platform_name>

Answer 3

I know it's a very late answer, incase someone still facing this issues in 2019.

It's caused due to gradle, add this gradle support plugin and it should be fine:

cordova plugin add cordova-android-support-gradle-release
