Solution 1

Updating to the most recent version (v2.0.1) of cordova-android-support-gradle-release should resolve your issue:

ionic cordova platform rm android
ionic cordova plugin rm cordova-android-support-gradle-release
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-android-support-gradle-release@latest 
ionic cordova platform add android
ionic cordova build android

Solution 2

I was having a similar problem, running the command ionic capacitor run android I was getting androidmanifest.xml doesn't exist.

It was solved by running the command ionic capacitor update

Solution 3

I was getting this error while only using Capacitor which I thought was strange so I nuked the android path in my root folder and then npx cap add android again and the build worked after that
