The Android Persistent storage location now defaults to "Internal". Please check this plugin's README to see if your application needs any changes in its config .xml.

If this is a new application no changes are required.

If this is an update to an existing application that did not specify an "Android PersistentFileLocation" you may need to add:

  "<preference name="AndroidPersistentFileLocation" value="Compatibility" />

"

to config.xml in order for the application to find previously stored files.

Can you run ionic cordova resources ?

[imhoffd]

The build didn't actually happen. The command stopped early.

[imhoffd]

Oops, I misread your original command. You ran ionic cordova platform add android, not ionic cordova build android.
