processDebugResources Error appears while building an android application using Ionic 3

Question

I have a project that was built on Ionic v3. Usually it was working, but some time passed and now it throws an error.

Current configuration is listed below:

ionic info

Ionic:

   Ionic CLI          : 5.0.3 (C:\Users\volkk\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ionic)
   Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.9.2
   @ionic/app-scripts : 3.2.3

Cordova:

   Cordova CLI       : not installed
   Cordova Platforms : android 7.0.0
   Cordova Plugins   : cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.1.2, (and 16 other plugins)

Utility:

   cordova-res : 0.3.0
   native-run  : not installed

System:

   Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1 (C:\android)
   NodeJS            : v10.15.1 (C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe)
   npm               : 6.7.0
   OS                : Windows 10

I am getting the following error:

Execution failed for task ':app:processDebugResources'.

I tried to change versions in the app/build.gradle, but that did not help me much.

I still believe that there is some version mismatch, because of some updates... Ofcourse I will try to resolve this problem by my own, but while I'm doing this, may be you can give me a good advice on how to fix this.

Here is a full build log: https://pastebin.com/zah1samG

UPDATE: I have installed a plugin called cordova-android-support-gradle-release and now I'm getting the following error:

UPDATE2:

I have updated all my stuff, now it looks like:

$ ionic info

Ionic:

   Ionic CLI          : 5.0.3 (C:\Users\volkk\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\ionic)
   Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.9.2
   @ionic/app-scripts : 3.2.4

Cordova:

   Cordova CLI       : not installed
   Cordova Platforms : android 8.0.0
   Cordova Plugins   : cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.1.2, (and 18 other plugins)

   OS                : Windows 10

Here is the list of installed plugins:

$ ionic cordova plugins list

But my build still fails.

I experience a simliar behaviour, if I use cordova-plugin-firebasex plugin.

P.S.: If I uninstall the plugin cordova-plugin-androidx and cordova-plugin-firebasex then the build succeeds, but the google play services are not working correctly.

The root cause is due to Firebase configuration which is updated. The error will not be present once you remove the plugin. github.com/dpa99c/cordova-android-support-gradle-release , plugin will help you to fix the problem. — Pradnya Sinalkar

I use push notifications and real time database, that's why I use the firebase plugin. If I will remove the plugin, then I will not be able to use that features. So, I finally didn't understand how to solve this. Which plugin can help me solve this problem? — Sergej

cordova-plugin-firebase is out-of-date and is calling Firebase API functions than longer exist.TL;DR: use cordova-plugin-firebasex which is a fork that fixes these (and other) issues. See this answer for more detail. — DaveAlden
