I\'m trying to publish my Android app by following the instructions here:

However, when I run cordova bu

Answer 1

Add the following entry to the /platforms/android/build.gradle file in your Ionic project:

android {
   lintOptions { disable 'MissingTranslation', 'ExtraTranslation' }
}

worked.

Answer 2

For those who prefer to keep platforms directory out of the VCS (Git, etc),
the best solution at the moment is to use a plugin called ignore-lint-translation.

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-ignore-lint-translation --save

The effective result is the addition of a gradle file that will disable such lint options (doh!).

Answer 3

If your build failed because of MissingTranslation issues, and if the string should not be translated, you can add the attribute translatable="false" on that <string> element in /platforms/android/app/src/main/res/values/strings.xml file.

So, if the strings in the strings.xml file is like this:

<string name="app_name">Your App Name</string>
<string name="launcher_name">@string/app_name</string>
<string name="activity_name">@string/launcher_name</string>

Edit them to look like this:

<string name="app_name" translatable="false">Your App Name</string>
<string name="launcher_name" translatable="false">@string/app_name</string>
<string name="activity_name" translatable="false">@string/launcher_name</string>

This solution worked for me.

Answer 4

Solved this by adding

lintOptions {
    abortOnError false
}

to the android {} section in /platforms/android/build.gradle

Answer 5

echo "android { lintOptions { checkReleaseBuilds false } }" >> platforms/android/build-extras.gradle

Answer 6

To fixed this error you should add

lintOptions {
    checkReleaseBuilds false
    // Or, if you prefer, you can continue to check for errors in release builds,
    // but continue the build even when errors are found:
    abortOnError false
}

In android {} section in /platforms/android/build.gradle
