Cordova Android Clean Build

To perform a **clean build** for your Apache Cordova Android project, follow these steps in your project root:

### ✅ 1. Clean the project

cordova clean android

This removes `platforms/android/build`, `plugins`, and other cached artifacts related to the Android platform.

### ✅ 2. Rebuild the project

cordova build android

This command will:

– Re-add necessary plugins/platforms (if cleaned).
– Rebuild the APK/AAB using Gradle for Android.

### ✅ Optional: Full Reset (if `clean` doesn't fix issues)

If you're still facing issues, run:

cordova platform remove android
cordova platform add android
cordova build android

### 💡 Tips

– If you're using Cordova with custom plugins or Framework7, make sure to re-install plugin dependencies after a full platform removal.
– For logging build issues:

cordova build android --verbose

Let me know if you're using Android Studio or Gradle directly and need extra cleanup (`.gradle`, `.idea`, etc.) instructions.
