Cannot find AndroidManifest.xml

[jtyrrell]

Hi, I'm trying to build my Angular7 app using gulp-cordova-build-android.
But when executing this task:
gulp.task('androiddebug', ['clean','build'], () => {
return gulp.src('dist')
.pipe(create())
.pipe(android())
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist/android'));
});

I get the error:
{ Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '[ProjectDir].cordova\platforms\android\AndroidManifest.xml'

I only just discovered this module earlier today, ran into this same problem. I suspect it's related to the fact that the structure of the platforms folder changed with cordova-android@7.0.0, see this blog post for more info.

going to fork this project now and see if I can get a local copy working for cordova-android@^7 now.

actually, it seems this can't be controlled from gulp-cordova-build-android, the AndroidManifest.xml file path is being generated inside my project's platforms/android/cordova/lib/builders/GradleBuilder.js@109.

I don't see anything useful in cordova-lib's release notes though.. I'm no expert with Cordova though, so it's possible that I'm just looking in the wrong place.

@SamVerschueren, any idea what needs to change for this one?

As a workaround you can define the location of the Manifest in the config.xml itself:

<resource-file src="platforms/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" target="AndroidManifest.xml" />
