For some reason the file is randomly emptied. Use the following command to mitigate the problem.

Unable to merge dex Cordova build error
Run Cordova clean (Android)
Then cordova build (Android)
Ionic app shows up in Chrome development tool as http://localhost:8080 instead of file:///android_asset/…
Somehow uninstall the cordova plugin cordova-plugin-ionic-webview changes this.
The application will then fall back to the old webview and so when trying to do a cors call, it won’t try to send a preflight request OPTIONS.
Build error: fontVariationSettings not found when building Cordova application
This is caused by the latest version of android support library that introduces some breaking changes to cordova plugins that specifies dependency to this library as getting the latest version.
To resolve, easiest is to install cordova-android-support-gradle-release and build, somehow it resolves the problem.
alternatively, go to build.properties under platform/android and change the version from + to something older.
