React Native run - Android producing strange error

I'd like to ask about the following error. So I've been developing a small BLE app a year ago and successfully managed to implement it. I did not push it to the Google Play store but instead installed it somehow on the Android via usb.
However, now I need to get it back up and running but am facing a plethora of errors.

The Kotlin Gradle plugin was loaded multiple times in different subprojects, which is not supported and may break the build.
This might happen in subprojects that apply the Kotlin plugins with the Gradle 'plugins { ... }' DSL if they specify explicit versions, even if the versions are equal.
Please add the Kotlin plugin to the common parent project or the root project, then remove the versions in the subprojects.
If the parent project does not need the plugin, add 'apply false' to the plugin line.
See: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/plugins.html#sec:subprojects_plugins_dsl

Ionic 3 BUILD FAILED with Cordova: cordova\node_modules\cordova-common\src\superspawn.js:169:23

In Ionic 3 with Cordova when I give the command:
ionic cordova run android --device
i have already installed and set the path in system environment

Node js
I have researched a lot on the internet and I can not solve it. What can I be doing wrong?
Even formatting the computer already formatted. I do not know what to do. Neither messages from other forums with the "supposed" same error, did not work out.
It gives me the following errors:

thanks in advance

Sorry for my bad English, I will try my best to present the answer in easy way.
I just spend my two days and nights on solving the same issue and finally I found one.
The main problem is with the Android-NDK.
Ionic framework is looking for mips64el-linux-android package in the ndk-bundle folder of Android SDK.
If You visit Your Android-SDK folder, You will find a folder with name ndk-bundle, inside this open the folder name toolchains You will see that toolchains doesn't contains the package mips64el-linux-android.
You have to download it manually.
You can download the latest version of Android-NDK here, but unfortunately this latest version doesn't contain the package we need.
At the bottom of this page You will find a link to download the older versions of Android-NDK, follow that link and download Android NDK, Revision 14b (March 2017). That's the NDK version Ionic looking for.
Now go to Your Android-SDK path, then NDK-Bundle and delete everything from that folder. And extract the downloaded file in NDK-Bundle folder, You will see the package mips64el-linux-android.
Everything is good to go now.
Hope so it will work.

Below is a summation of my experience installing cordova on ionic-4. See in particular the section on mips64el-linux-android error. Just follow along and create the dummy folder and subfolders as explained.
Cordova expects to see the path to C:\Users\myusernamehere\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains\mips64el-linux-android-4.9\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\bin\mips64el-linux-android-strip but does not require it (in my case) and will throw an error if absent.
Ionic Cordova Installation experience.
• Re- install Java JDK 8 to the latest update.
• Add ANDROID_SDK_ROOT variable to point to existing installation of Android Studio SDK
• Add Java JDK\bin to the environment PATH variable on user and system
• Download Gradle 5.2 and create folder C:\Gradle and extract the contents inside. Your
The path should look like this
C:\Gradle\gradle-5.2\bin\gradle.bat
Add "C:\Gradle\gradle-5.2\bin" to PATH variable on System
From the command line do the following ..
export ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/tools/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_SDK_ROOT/emulator
• Using a previously installed edition of Android Studio go to Tools => SDK Tools
And check the NDK checkbox for download, click apply and ok.
• In the project terminal - Enter
ionic cordova prepare android
to build Cordova.
If there are errors delete the platforms\android project directory and rebuild.
If there is a Gradle error looking for NDK "mips64el-linux-android-version"
Do the following ..
• Open the NDK bundle\toolchains folder within Android SDK eg C:\Users\Shay\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains
• And using command line create a folder "mips64el-linux-android-4.9" ( same version number (4.9) as other folders) inside create folder "prebuilt" .. then folder "windows-x86_64" and inside place and empty text file for contents.
The created path should look like .. "C:\Users\Shay\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\ndk-bundle\toolchains\mips64el-linux-android-4.9\prebuilt\windows-x86_64\dummy file" is not required by Cordova but is expected to be in its path .. otherwise it will throw an error and fail to build.
Alternatively, download an older build such as https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/older_releases/android-ndk-r16b-windows-x86_64.zip and extract the required folder to the new ndk folder in the same location as above.
• Finally, once again enter
ionic cordova prepare android
to build Cordova
The Ionic build order (as I observed it) is a follows ..
1. It looks for all the relevant Java and Android SDK paths ..
2. Then uses Gradle as the build system ..
3. Check for NDK bundle ..
4. Build project
The above took me two days to figure out. Hope it helps and saves you the headache.

Thanks for the help!
I got a build successful by adding this in the build-extras.gradle file:
configurations.all {
resolutionStrategy {
force 'com.android.support:support-v4:27.1.0'
}
}
And by installing the cordova-android-support-gradle-release.

Gustavo,
Its is possible that you have a conflict in cordova plugins or platform. A second possiblity is that, you have added components via npm but haven't installed it. For both scenario, I suggest that you list out the current versions installed, note them down then do an update to cordova. Here is how to list out the versions, like what I have.
cd projectfolder
$ cordova plugin
cordova-plugin-console 1.1.0 "Console"
cordova-plugin-device 2.0.1 "Device"
cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.3.3 "Whitelist"
$ cordova platform
Installed platforms:
android 7.0.0
browser 5.0.3
Available platforms:
ios ~4.5.4
osx ~4.0.1
windows ~5.0.0
www ^3.12.0
$ npm -v
3.10.10
Here is how you update cordova for the project. This example assumes you are using android platform. If you have other plugins/platform, do the necessary.
npm install
npm update
cordova platform rm android --nosave
cordova platform add android
Alternatively
cordova platform update android
If you notice a specific plugin with version error, remove and the plugin with required version.

How can I solve the problem?

In my case, this message was because of missing packages in the Android SDK, so it was required to install some packages via the Android SDK Manager.
android # To open the SDK manager
Look for:
Extras -> Google play services
Extras -> Google repository
And install them.

I solved this removing and adding the platform again.
For some reason I still had some dependecies on an old plugin I uninstalled.

According to the documentation here you need to configure the gradle build system (File: build.gradle) to install the gcm plugin functionality.
e.g:
dependencies {
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.1.0"
}
Attention: By using cordova the build.gradle file is automatically generated. That means that your additions will be lost every time you call cordova / ionic build
The cordova team advices to generate a build-extras.gradle file for custom configuration.
However, for me it is unclear how these files are merged :-( which leads to errors like that one you are facing.
Please read my consideration here to work around this problem.

Ionic build android not working on package-resource

I already try to clean my project and delete .cordova and .ionic but the problem still persist.
What's wrong?
ANT_HOME, ANDROID_HOME, JAVA_HOME are OK

I encountered the same error. See the following for more information:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=77629
Downgrading to the Android SDK Build-Tools 20 should allow the build to complete again. That resolved the problem for me.

I just retested it with the example ionic project, and it works with SDK Build Tools 21.0.2.
Failing aapt has been fixed for windows/x64 with this version.
So actually upgrading might be an option for you as well.
