The above commands will perform clean functionality for your Gradle and create a release build for you.
UPDATE
Try to remove your node_modules and install again.
Open Terminal
rm -rf node_modules

Error using library react-native-call-detection

I am trying to use the react-native-call-detection library to get the incoming call number.
But when I start the android emulator this low error appears.
I have already run react-native unlink react-native-call-detection, but the error continues. Having identify the other mistakes but to no avail!
If I completely remove react-native-call-detection then the emulator opens without any error.
Can someone help me please?
Thanks.

error React Native CLI uses autolinking for native dependencies, but the following modules are linked manually:
- react-native-call-detection (to unlink run: "react-native unlink react-native-call-detection")
This is likely happening when upgrading React Native from below 0.60 to 0.60 or above. Going forward, you can unlink this dependency via "react-native unlink <dependency>" and it will be included in your app automatically.

Native "Push" plugin for Ionic causes errors

I am trying to implement Push notifications in my ionic app. For this I want to use the native plugin push:
https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/push/
Before installing this plugin I can just start my app on my Android device using:
ionic cordova run android
The app starts up, and no errors occur. But after installing the Cordova/PhoneGap plugin like this:
ionic cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-push
And this:
npm install --save #ionic-native/push
I can no longer run the app on my device because the build failes because of a bunch of errors.

At this point I don't really have a clue to fix this, when I remove the plugin like this:
ionic cordova plugin remove phonegap-plugin-push
I can just start the app again with no problems or errors.
How can I make this plugin work?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT
So I created a new Ionic app with a boilerplate like this:
ionic start myApp tabs
And I installed the phonegap plugin push like this:
ionic cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-push
And when using this:
ionic cordova run android
The app just starts with no errors, so it is my other project that is causing these issues. I used ionic info on the blank app which shows me this:
cli packages: (C:\Users\njonkman\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules)
#ionic/cli-utils : 1.19.0
ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.19.0
global packages:
cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.0.0
local packages:
#ionic/app-scripts : 3.1.6
Cordova Platforms : android 6.3.0
Ionic Framework : ionic-angular 3.9.2
System:
Node : v6.11.3
npm : 4.6.1
OS : Windows 10
Environment Variables:
ANDROID_HOME : not set
Misc:
backend : pro
So I did the same for my own app and it was showing some of the fields being outdated (or at least older than what the boilerplate had installed, also cordova) and I started updating the fields like this:
npm install -g cordova
And
npm install -g ionic
And
npm install #ionic/app-scripts#latest
But after running it again, I get one of the previous errors:

At this point, wouldn't it be better to just re-create a new project, install all plugins that I need, test if they work and then add my logic/classes to it?
Thanks
EDIT
So I have "figured out" what is cousing the problems, I don't know why this happends or how to fix it yet. I am using 2 plugins that work fine alone but both installed, cause errors. These plugins are:
https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/file-path/
https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/push/

Ok, so I have managed to solve my problem. This is what I did:
I created a blank Ionic project ( ionic start blank ) to test if the plugin would work in a newly created project. It did. After that I installed all other plugins one by one to see if it still worked. At some point I came across the file-path plugin ( https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/file-path/ ). After installing this plugin I got the same errors as mentioned in the OP. After Googling(?) a bit I found this topic:

One of the solutions was adding this piece of code to the build.gradle file:

resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
def requested = details.requested
if (requested.group == 'com.android.support') {
if (!requested.name.startsWith("multidex")) {
details.useVersion '26.1.0'
}
}
}
}
Note that I had already tried a similair solution but with a different version number ( 25.3.1 ). The error mentioned 2 versions, I picked the most recent one ( 26.1.0 ) in the solution, but I did not initially.
After trying it out on the blank project I tried it on my existing project. Just to be sure I removed the platform ( ionic cordova rm platform android ) and added it again ( ionic cordova add platform android ). Also note that I added the above piece to the build.gradle found in platforms>android>app and not in the build.gradle found inside platforms>android.
I can now run my project again with no errors.
