I can't reproduce with the provided config.xml, can you provide a full app reproducing the issue?

[jcesarmobile]

Closing since there was no response and I can’t reproduce

I am having the same error, here is the error generated with '--verbose'

When upgrade cordova from 8.0 to 11.0 in a ionic 3.9.2 project, I was using cordova-plugin-splashscreen plugin, and now I have removed it from the project by run 'ionic cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-splashscreen' and cleared tags from config.xml file.

Does this look similar to #1441 ?

Actually this could be solved according this official doc https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/core/features/splashscreen/index.html#android-specific-information

I had the same error and detected it was due to a plugin saving a themes.xml file to the res folder. I changed the plugin to save the file as themesother.xml and then I could add the android@11 platform ok.
