@MarioC3 Do you happen to have applicationId being set in your build.gradle?

[MarioC3]

@NikolaPeevski It is set on the app>build.graddle. But not on the capacitor-cordova-android-plugins>build.graddle where the error is saying it's being affected.

[NikolaPeevski]

@MarioC3 can you provide a repo I can checkout locally ?

[MarioC3]

Actually, I think I fix it. You point me in the correct direction. Also, this helped me -> https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27374933/android-studio-1-0-and-error-library-projects-cannot-set-applicationid

[NikolaPeevski]

@MarioC3 hah that's cool, I was also reading that :)

[MarioC3]

Actually never mind. I tried running the app and had the same problem. :(

[NikolaPeevski]

@MarioC3 Gimme a repo I can checkout

[MarioC3]

@NikolaPeevski Unfortunately I can' t. The problem in my job's private repo.

[NikolaPeevski]

@MarioC3 can you post the output of ionic info ?

Edit: Does it build from the CLI ?

[MarioC3]

This is the output for ionic info:

Ionic:

Do you mean build it with cordova?

[jcesarmobile]

one of your plugins is trying to set the applicationId from a gradle script, you'll have to figure out which one

[jcesarmobile]

I'm closing since you'll have to find the plugin and fix it yourself, plugins should not be setting the applicationId anyway.

[MarioC3]

Thanks for the response.
