Hi,
same problem here as it seems.
Any ideas for a quick fix?

Unfortunately it is no longer possible to build for sdk29 since 1st of November...

There is a cordova-plugin-safariviewcontroller v2.0.1 (current is v2.0.0) that hasn't yet been merged that contains the fix for this issue. In the meantime, adding this to the end of my AndroidManifest.xml gets my app around this issue:

<queries> <intent> <action android:name="android.support.customtabs.action.CustomTabsService" /> </intent> </queries>

FYI - I got the concept above from this: https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/cordova-plugin-safariviewcontroller/pull/180/files

Ok guys i have temporarily resolved this issue before release of fixed plugin cordova-plugin-safariviewcontroller v2.0.1.

Thanks to @alexneats for suggestion.
You need to put this:

 <queries>
        <intent>
            <action android:name="android.support.customtabs.action.CustomTabsService" />
        </intent>
    </queries>

in AndroidManifest.xml (attention, this block must be placed outside the tag <application>).
If command ionic cordova build android return an error like this: C:\Users\folder\platforms\android\app\build\intermediates\merged_manifests\debug\AndroidManifest.xml:134: AAPT: error: une
you probably update your gradle version to > 3.3.0 (for me 3.5.4 is ok).
NOTE : gradle version must be updated in build.gradle file located under path
platforms\android\app\build.gradle and/or platforms\android\build.gradle
from

dependencies {
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files

        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.3.0'
    }

to

 dependencies {
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files

        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.4'
    }

You probably have an error also in this case, cause is necessary update distributionUrl located in gradle-wrapper.properties for updated gradle.
I suggest to use this:
distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.4.1-all.zip for gradle 3.5.4
After this changes ionic cordova build android works fine and problem fixed!!!!

Thank you! You are awesome!

If you don't want to manually edit your AndroidManifest.xml (e.g. clean automated builds via some CI) you can add this to your <platform name="android" ... section in your config.xml:

<edit-config file="app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml" mode="add" target="/manifest/queries" xmlns:android="http:https://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <intent>
        <action android:name="android.support.customtabs.action.CustomTabsService" />
    </intent>
</edit-config>

The plugin cordova-custom-config might be required, I'm not entirely sure as this is just meant as a quick note to other people struggling. :-)

We would love to see this fixed. For now, we are using the solution from @cels and it works well.

Having the same problem here with Android 11 and 12 (Ionic V3, Angular 5, Cordova 10.0.0) and the solution from @cels and @ciromart worked. I did not changed the graddle classpath (mine here is 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.0').

Thank you all!

Thanks @cels and @ciromart - looks like a good workaround 👍🏻 I've pinned this issue for visibility.
