during build my app i got error: MSBUILD : cordova-build error : TypeError: Cannot read property 'attrib' of null

Question

I am new in mobile developing and i use VS 2015 for build simple app with apache cordova and ionic. I made app with two views: first - login page, second - page with list of items getting from remote server as json.

Everything is ok in Ripple emulator, but when i try to build real apk file i got this error:

MSBUILD : cordova-build error : TypeError: Cannot read property 'attrib' of null
TypeError Cannot read property 'attrib' of null

I spent many hours googling the same error but did not found any with this part: property 'attrib'.

How can i solve my issue?

Thank you!

I had the same issue and discovered that this error rears its head if your AndroidManifest.xml has errors. Once my manifest file is fixed, this error went away. Hope this helps.
