How to solve Source path does not exist: resources/android/xml/network_security_config.xml

Question

I do build with ionic 4.

ionic cordova build android

Got this error

cordova build android

Source path does not exist: resources/android/xml/network_security_config.xml [ERROR] An error occurred while running subprocess cordova.

I removed this part from config.xml. Is it fine?

    <edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="merge" target="/manifest/application" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <application android:networkSecurityConfig="@xml/network_security_config" />
    </edit-config>
    <resource-file src="resources/android/xml/network_security_config.xml" target="app/src/main/res/xml/network_security_config.xml" />

Examine the resources folder if the xml folder exists in /android, if it doesn't just create it like..

resources/
    android/
        xml/
           network_security_config.xml

Enter the following inside the file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
  <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
    <domain includeSubdomains="true">localhost</domain>
  </domain-config>
</network-security-config>

I did the above mentioned fixes - but this was the straw that broke the camel's back for me. Thank you @Mr Strange :)

For android@^8.1.0 make sure the target is correct: target="app/src/main/res/xml/network_security_config.xml"

within your project: resources => android => create folder "xml" create file.xml: network_security_config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<network-security-config>
    <domain-config cleartextTrafficPermitted="true">
        <domain includeSubdomains="true">localhost</domain>
    </domain-config>
</network-security-config>`

H guys, I did have also this problem, my fix to It was, in config.xml remove this line <resource-file src="resources/android/xml/network_security_config.xml" target="app/src/main/res/xml/network_security_config.xml" /> and It works for me.
