Cordova构建应用报错：找不到android:font等FontFamilyFont属性

Hey there, I’ve dealt with this exact headache when building Cordova Android apps before—those FontFamilyFont attribute errors almost always stem from mismatched Android SDK versions or outdated Cordova platform/plugin configurations. Let’s break down the proven fixes that got me back on track:

1. Update Your Cordova Android Platform #

The android:font, android:fontStyle, and android:fontWeight attributes were introduced in Android API 26 (Android 8.0). If your Cordova Android platform is too old, it won’t recognize these attributes.

• First, check your current platform version:

  cordova platform ls
  

• If you’re running a version older than cordova-android@8.0.0 (the first version supporting API 26), update to the latest stable release:

  cordova platform remove android
  cordova platform add android@latest
  

• You can also specify a specific compatible version (e.g., cordova-android@11.0.0) if your project has dependencies that require it.

2. Align Your Android SDK Versions #

Make sure your project targets a sufficiently high Android SDK version. Instead of editing the auto-generated build.gradle directly (Cordova might overwrite it), configure this via config.xml:

• Open your project’s config.xml, find the <platform name="android"> section, and add these preferences:

  <preference name="android-compileSdkVersion" value="33" />
  <preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="33" />
  

  Use the latest stable SDK version (you can check Android’s official docs for current recommendations).

3. Clean Up Build Caches #

Stale build files often cause weird, unexplained errors. Wipe the cache and rebuild:

cordova clean android
rm -rf platforms/android/build
rm -rf platforms/android/app/build
cordova build android

4. Update or Troubleshoot Plugins #

Outdated third-party plugins might rely on old Android SDK versions, creating conflicts:

• List all installed plugins to check for updates:

  cordova plugin ls
  

• Update individual plugins to their latest versions:

  cordova plugin update <plugin-name>
  

• If a specific plugin seems to be the culprit, try removing and re-adding it:

  cordova plugin remove <plugin-name>
  cordova plugin add <plugin-name>@latest
  

These steps should resolve the FontFamilyFont attribute errors for most cases. If you’re still stuck, double-check that you have the required SDK versions and build tools installed in your Android SDK Manager.
