   Explanation for issues of type "MissingDefaultResource":
   If a resource is only defined in folders with qualifiers like -land or -en,
   and there is no default declaration in the base folder (layout or values
   etc), then the app will crash if that resource is accessed on a device
   where the device is in a configuration missing the given qualifier.

   As a special case, drawables do not have to be specified in the base
   folder; if there is a match in a density folder (such as drawable-mdpi)
   that image will be used and scaled. Note however that if you  only specify
   a drawable in a folder like drawable-en-hdpi, the app will crash in
   non-English locales.

   There may be scenarios where you have a resource, such as a -fr drawable,
   which is only referenced from some other resource with the same qualifiers
   (such as a -fr style), which itself has safe fallbacks. However, this still
   makes it possible for somebody to accidentally reference the drawable and
   crash, so it is safer to create a default dummy fallback in the base
   folder. Alternatively, you can suppress the issue by adding
   tools:ignore="MissingDefaultResource" on the element.

   (This scenario frequently happens with string translations, where you might
   delete code and the corresponding resources, but forget to delete a
   translation. There is a dedicated issue id for that scenario, with the id
   ExtraTranslation.)

Please don't just delete parts of the issue template - it is important that we know all the versions you are using etc.

Is this reproducible in a new, plain Cordova app? A minimal reproduction repository would really help to debug and later fix this issue. More information on how to create one: https://github.com/apache/cordova-contribute/blob/master/create-reproduction.md

Any solution for this cordova build --release error not match the src in the config.xml file ? same error in the same context. @phipier @Overman775 @janpio

[RafaelLVX]

I had the same issue. Here's how I made the error go away.

Originally I had the following within <platform name="android"> ... </platform> in config.xml:

<splash density="land-hdpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen-ls.png" />
<splash density="land-ldpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen-ls.png" />
<splash density="land-mdpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen-ls.png" />
<splash density="land-xhdpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen-ls.png" />
<splash density="port-hdpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen.png" />
<splash density="port-ldpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen.png" />
<splash density="port-mdpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen.png" />
<splash density="port-xhdpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen.png" />

Note how I actually use one file for all portrait resolutions and one for all landscape resolutions. For me lower resolutions don't matter so I only used the high resolution file and prayed it wouldn't trouble me later (so far it hadn't but I couldn't test on that many devices). Either way, you'll see where I'm getting.

What solved the problem for me was adding lines with densities that don't specify orientation, thusly:

<splash density="hdpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen.png" />
<splash density="ldpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen.png" />
<splash density="mdpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen.png" />
<splash density="xhdpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen.png" />
<splash density="land-hdpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen-ls.png" />
<splash density="land-ldpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen-ls.png" />
<splash density="land-mdpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen-ls.png" />
<splash density="land-xhdpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen-ls.png" />
<splash density="port-hdpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen.png" />
<splash density="port-ldpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen.png" />
<splash density="port-mdpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen.png" />
<splash density="port-xhdpi" src="res/screen/android/RafaelLVX-splashscreen.png" />

Now note I used the portrait orientation files for these no-orientation-densities. In truth I don't know if that matters, I don't know what circumstances will fall back to these paths. Maybe the files should be square here? I don't know. Hoping to avoid that the app defaults to this uncertain configuration I added these new lines BEFORE the tried and true landscape and portrait config. All I know is that it worked. If anyone knows more, please let us know what I did right and how to improve this. ;-)

Thanks @apiaget in this post for pointing in the right direction.
