Add this hook to cordova project: patch-android-studio-check.js

1. Put the file patch-android-studio-check.js in the directory hooks of your project

2. Add the following lines to the config.xml of your project:

   <platform name="android">
       <hook src="hooks/patch-android-studio-check.js" type="before_plugin_install" />
       <hook src="hooks/patch-android-studio-check.js" type="before_plugin_add" />
       <hook src="hooks/patch-android-studio-check.js" type="before_build" />
       <hook src="hooks/patch-android-studio-check.js" type="before_run" />
       <hook src="hooks/patch-android-studio-check.js" type="before_plugin_rm" />
   </platform>
   

3. Delete the plugins directory:

   rm -rf plugins
   

4. Reinstall the plugins:

   ionic build
   

5. Reinstall the platform android:

   cordova platform rm android
   cordova platform add android@latest
