Error deploying Ionic app to Android Phone (Ionic 4)

I am running the command ionic cordova run android with the usb cable connected as expected. The app builds, and then when it starts to build the apk to deploy on to my phone I'm hit with this error in the terminal.

I looked up the error: incrementalFolder=null, and I found that people were saying to fix this error you need to delete .gradle folder inside the root directory of an existing android studio project. I have tried this with no change.
Does anyone know a fix for this? I am clueless, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can anyone help me with the issue?

cordova clean android should fix your problem.

I solved it by removing platform and adding it again:
ionic cordova platform rm android
ionic cordova platform rm ios
ionic cordova platform add android
ionic cordova platform add ios

If the cordova clean command does not solve this problem for you, it might be related to the new implementation of AndroidX in some of your libraries.
In my case it was cordova-plugin-firebase-analytics
Follow these steps:
0 / Remove your android platform
cordova platform rm android
1 / Remove all plugins related to support / gradle / firebase versions control (Optional -- I didn't need to remove any plugins. So if you are not sure about how to do this, just skip this step)
2 / Add the AndroidX plugins from #dpa99c :
# add plugin to enable AndroidX in the project
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-androidx
# add plugin to patch existing plugin source that uses the Android Support Library to use AndroidX
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter
3 / Add your android platform
cordova platform add android

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.

Cordova GooglePlus plugin crashes build for android

I am using the cordova-plugin-googleplus for sign in with Google, and when trying to build I get:
Error: cmd: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:

* What went wrong:

I looked everywhere, and no solution worked for me.
Plugin version: 5.1.1
Cordova version: 7.0.1
I am already using compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.0.1" so the other issue thread is not a duplicate

Help to solve the problem. It's already the 4th day that you can not create a .apk file.
Thank you.
