Ionic platform add android throws Syntax error for package.json

Question

I'm building an app with ionic. I've added ios to the platforms with no problem, but when I type ionic platform add android I get the following error:

Updated the hooks directory to have execute permissions Adding android project... Creating Cordova project for the Android platform: Path: platforms/android Package: com.ionicframework.conrem979285 Name: ConRem Activity: MainActivity Android target: android-23 Android project created with cordova-android@5.1.0 Running command: "/Users/Roozbeh/Desktop/ConRem backup/hooks/after_prepare/010_add_platform_class.js" "/Users/Roozbeh/Desktop/ConRem backup" add to body class: platform-android Installing "cordova-plugin-app-event" for android Installing "cordova-plugin-datepicker" for android Installing "cordova-plugin-device" for android Installing "de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification" for android Dependent plugin "cordova-plugin-device" already installed on android. Dependent plugin "cordova-plugin-app-event" already installed on android.

Your support is needed. If you use the local-notification plugin please support us in order to ensure further development. https://github.com/katzer/cordova-plugin-local-notifications#supporting

Thank you!

Saving platform to package.json file There was an error opening your package.json file.

Here is my package.json file:

"cordova-plugin-whitelist",
"cordova-plugin-splashscreen",
"cordova-plugin-statusbar",

"cordova-plugin-datepicker",
],
"cordovaPlatforms": []
}

Your system information:

Cordova CLI: 6.0.0 Gulp version: CLI version 3.9.0 Gulp local:

Can someone please tell me what this syntax error is?

Thanks

Answer 1

in your package.json there is one extra comma. I think that parsing is very strict and had the same issue before. There must not be a comma after the last item in an array.On the line

"cordova-plugin-datepicker",

remove the comma at the end.

Cordova 6不支持您的一个软件包。请检查每个软件包，它们在目标CLI版本6.0.0中都受支持。
