Answer 1

You are using multiple versions of the Android Support Libraries:

Move all your support libraries to one version 25.3.1 or 25.3.0 I was having an exact same error after moving all support libraries to 25.3.1 my error was removed.

Answer 2

If you guys get this error in Ionic / Ionic 3 / Cordova, check the below line in your project.properties file. Change the plus to your version.

cordova.system.library.7=com.android.support:support-v4:+
