'Error: Source path does not exist: resources\android\icon\drawable-hdpi-icon.png
I'm trying to get an APK file from a Ionic project with the "cordova build --release android" command on a Mac and it doesn't work as I get this error
"Error: Source path does not exist: resources\android\icon\drawable-hdpi-icon.png"
. Anyone knows where it might come from?
Here is the copy of the config.xml file :
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<widget id="com.ionicframework.rise268787" version="1.0.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets" xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">

I had the same error, After running
ionic resources
Or
ionic cordova resources
(Based on the ionic version of your application)
it went away.
The problem was that I had Windows-style slashes (backslashes) in the path of the icon, i.e. the error I had was this:
Error: Source path does not exist: resources\android\icon\drawable-hdpi-icon.png
So, converting backslashes into slashes resolved it for me.
Hope this help to you and the others looking for same problem. It all happens because using different machines[mac & windows] for development of project like mac and windows.

You can add your resources again by running:
ionic integrations enable cordova --add
Solution 3:[3]
The problem is because you have:
<preference name="Orientation" value="portrait" />
in your config.xml, and when you run ionic cordova resources it is only generating the resources for portrait orientation.
Solution 4:[4]
Do not forget to add files in the resources folder.
The source image for icons should ideally be at least 1024×1024px and located at resources/icon.png. The source image for splash screens should ideally be at least 2732×2732px and located at resources/splash.png. If you used ionic start, there should already be default Ionic resources in the resources/ directory, which you can overwrite.
You need to use this formats: .png, .psd, or .ai.
You can use https://code.ionicframework.com/resources/splash.psd as a template for your splash screen and https://code.ionicframework.com/resources/icon.psd for a icon.
Solution 5:[5]
In config.xml, I changed the resources/android/icon/drawable-hdpi.png to resources resources\android\icon\drawable-hdpi.png
Note the slash change.
Solution 6:[6]
Remove all the resources tags from the config.xml and run ionic cordova resources -f. It will auto-generate all your necessary resources and tags. And you should be able to build the app.
Solution 7:[7]
I resolved the error using the way similar to Fakan. You just need to change the icon tag with src="resources\android\icon\drawable-hdpi.png" outside the platform tags to "resources\icon.png" to resolve this error
Solution 8:[8]
Just try to find the path of this resource inside the Ionic structure. Sometimes, or in some versions, this path may be like this:
Your resource:
resources/android/icon/drawable-hdpi.png
Try this:
res/android/icon/drawable-hdpi.png
Solution 9:[9]
Check your icon if it is actually saved as ".png". Not as ".PNG". Right-click on it and hit Properties.
If it wasn't, edit your icon and save it with a file extension ".png".
Solution 10:[10]
Just remove <preference name="Orientation" value="portrait" /> in config.xml file and run ionic cordova resources.
Problem is when you run ionic cordova resources it is only generates the resources for portrait orientation.
Solution 11:[11]
Just edit your config.xml file. Mine looks like this:
<platform name="android">
<splash density="hdpi" src="res/screen/android/screen-hdpi-landscape.png" />
<splash density="port-hdpi" src="res/screen/android/screen-hdpi-portrait.png" />
<splash density="ldpi" src="res/screen/android/screen-ldpi-landscape.png" />
<splash density="port-ldpi" src="res/screen/android/screen-ldpi-portrait.png" />
<splash density="mdpi" src="res/screen/android/screen-mdpi-landscape.png" />
<splash density="port-mdpi" src="res/screen/android/screen-mdpi-portrait.png" />
<splash density="xhdpi" src="res/screen/android/screen-xhdpi-landscape.png" />
<splash density="port-xhdpi" src="res/screen/android/screen-xhdpi-portrait.png" />
</platform>
Note that res/ is relative to the project root directory. The filenames may be different at your end.

A quick alternative answer:
Error: Source path does not exist: resources\android\icon\drawable-hdpi-icon.png
Is the same as
Error: Source path does not exist: resources\android\icon\foreground-hdpi-icon.png
or
Error: Source path does not exist: resources\android\icon\background-hdpi-icon.png
And any other in that category
The command looks for base files namely icon-drawable.png | icon-foreground.png | icon-background.png
in location android/resources so the best thing is to include those images in android/resources then re-run cordova build --release android or ionic cordova resources android to check
Solution 13:[13]
The way I solved this problem worked, but it is a little peculiar.
I created the following files and put them in the "resources" directory:
icon.png, icon.jpg, icon.jpeg, splash.png, splash.jpg, splash.jpeg.
If you use --verbose, it'll tell you the dimensions each file must have. For example, icon.png must have 512x512 pixels. And splash.png must have 1920x1920 pixels.
Solution 14:[14]
In my case, I just need to change my JAVA_HOME and JRE_HOME which are supported by the Ionic project in environment variables then the error was gone.
Solution 15:[15]
In config.xml, I changed the resources\android\icon\drawable-hdpi.png to resources resources\android\icon\drawable-hdpi.png
