In gradle.properties change android.enableAapt2=false to true

You can actually have problems in the resources but these will not be displayed if you do not correct this problem first:
The option 'android.enableAapt2' is deprecated and should not be used
anymore. Use 'android.enableAapt2 = true' to remove this warning. It
will be removed at the end of 2018.
within your gradle.properties file that is located in the root of the project, replace:
android.enableAapt2
with:
android.enableAapt2 = true

Try updating your gradle plugin. Fixed my error.

within gradle.properties file that is located in the root of the project,
I have just commented on this line, now works perfectly
android.enableAapt2 = true

Please make sure that the images and icons you included in your project is Imported by android studio or Drawable importer plugin.
to install this plugin you have to go File>setting> plugin.
then type Drawable importer

Your problem is with android.enableAapt2 .
You should check what's missing or the package is imported correctly.
Search for file android.enableAapt2 or that keyword.

So, i don't know what is my error because I have install all application required.
Thanks!

My solution:
This solution solved Android problems, if you need solved iOS
problems, maybe you need learn about ios-sim
# First, Install nodejs
brew install node
# install cordova
sudo npm install -g cordova
# install cordova
sudo npm install -g ionic
sudo npm install -g ionic
# install android sdk: android, adb, etc
brew install android-sdk
# Execute android
android
# after run android you need install
# Tools: Andoird SDK Tools, Android SDK Platform-tools, Android SDK Build-tools
# Android 4.4.2 (API 19)
# Extras: Android Support Library
# install ant
brew install ant
Then, after install all dependencies, you can create a new ionic project
like to
ionic start <YouAppNameHere> blank
Then you need add android platform support with
ionic platform add android
And finally, you can build and emulate you project for android devices with
ionic build android
or
ionic emulate android
You can move/copy you old www folder data to you new www folder, and
the old plugins can be installed manually using ionic plugin add <YouPluginNameHere>

Have I missed something? I have googled it for hours but can't seem to find a solution.

In case this helps anyone else...
I determined that I could resolve this problem by creating the
android/CordovaLib/build/intermediates/bundles/debug/res
directory mentioned in the error - just empty.
Then I could proceed with that error disappearing.

some of Cordova Java files need api 21 or above.when you want to change target you can use android manifest xml file.

From https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push/issues/51 I understant that facebookconnect uses android-support-v4.jar which conflicts with android-support-v13.jar from phonegap-plugin-push.
I have tried to remove/replace android-support-v*.jar as suggested but that does not help.
Cordova version: 5.2.0
phonegap-plugin-push version: 1.2.0
com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect version: 0.11.0

UPDATE
This solution does not work with latest com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect plugin.
I replaced Facebook plugin with cordova-plugin-facebook4 fork. It uses v4 Android library and does not conflict with phonegap-plugin-push plugin.
Finally with some help in other forums I was able to make it work!
Here is what I did:
Remove
\plugins\com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect\platforms\android\FacebookLib\libs\android-support-v4.jar
file
Copy \plugins\phonegap-plugin-push\src\android\libs\android-support-v13.jar file to \plugins\com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect\platforms\android\FacebookLib\libs\
Open \plugins\com.phonegap.plugins.facebookconnect\platforms\android\FacebookLib\build.gradle file in text editor (use Notepad++ or any other new-lines friendly editor)
Under the dependencies block, replace support-v4 with support-v13. It should look like this:
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:support-v13:[20,21)'
compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-android:1.1.2'
}
Delete \platforms\android\build\ folder and compile project with cordova build
All paths are related to Cordova project's root.

One way will be to resolve problem through installing push plugin: cordova-plugin-push-notification , because it also uses android-support-v4.jar. Link to this version's documentation.
Run command to install:
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-push-notification
