ionic run android grabs wrong (old) apk after installing crosswalk

[jgw96]

Short description of the problem:

When you install crosswalk, the old apk files do not get removed during android build and android run then takes the old packages. You have to delete all files below platforms\android\build\outputs\apk\first.

What behavior are you expecting?

ionic run android should run the x-walk version

Steps to reproduce:

1. ionic plugin add cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview
2. ionic run android

Which Ionic Version? 2.x

I also had that issue. Removing the previous apk files manually in platforms\android\build\outputs\apk did solve the issue (took me some times to figure it out :p )

Yep me too. It has been an issue for a long time.

Almost a year later this is still an issue. Any plans for either a fix or adding this info to the docs so people like me and @Geoffrey-D don't waste a bunch of time?

Crosswalk is no longer maintained, so please do not use it.

If anything this is a Cordova issue anyway, not an issue with the Ionic CLI.
