hi got the issue. i checked the git and found that all detail from my config file was missing. i don’t know how it got deleted but now it is working
This might be old, but I ran into the issue and found out what was wrong with my
config.xmlin case anyone runs into the same issue. In my case I defined an iOS only setting outside the ios platform block. It was working whilst i was doing iOS build but when i went to build android I got the error.So as a quick debug delete any additional options one by one to find the culprit. From there you can figure out why its broken. In my case it was defining
edit-config file="*-Info.plist" mode="merge" target="NSLocationWhenInUseUsageDescription"outside theplatform name="ios"tag.Hope this helps someone! (P.S. im more or less on bleeding edge cordova and it is still an issue)
When I run the command
ionic cordova run android --livereload --address [MY EXTERNAL IP]myconfig.xmlfile goes blank. Once theconfig.xmlfile is blank, trying to run your app will produce the errorTypeError: Cannot read property 'find' of nullconfig.xml. i don’t know how i got it empty. may be while changing app version manually, something goes wrong my side.
I had the same problem, fortunately, I found a config.xml in one of my last builds (android).
Check the following directories, if there is maybe a
config.xmlinside:path/to/your/project/platforms/android/res/xml/config.xml<–path/to/your/project/platforms/android/build/intermediates/res/merged/debug/xml/config.xml<–As I run allways the
ionic cordova run android --device --livereloadcommand assudo, likesudo ionic cordova run android --device --livereload, theconfig.xml’s were read-only.In case You have a iOS build, try to change the
androidpart of the paths to iOS.Hope the best for You guys. Never forget to backup your data.
That is crazy, I just had the same problem. I’m sure that my config.xml file was correct yesterday. Its is empty now!
edit: for what I remember, that could be a update of cordova I made yesterday. Still don’t explain the empty file
https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-app-scripts/releases/tag/v3.0.0 ionic build android --aot --minifyjs --minifycss it created my config.xml blanked
How can i fix this?

Thanks @proclnas !! I found the bug… I just wasn’t handling errors properly. Node is a little rough sometimes.
@vksgautam1 I had exactly the same issue. Config.xml got empty! Thanks for sharing. @buddywa I also did the same thing. I run --livereload. Then this error started happening…
