Error in Multi-app Project when build android app (Current working directory is not a Cordova-based project)

[evgeniyefimov]

Description:

I have an issue Current working directory is not a Cordova-based project with ionic multi-app project, when run ionic cordova build android. I was noticed that it creates www folder in the right place, but after Ionic hooks it disappears, even if I add this folder manually, right before ng commands. Maybe it's somehow connected.
It works fine with ng commands and ionic serve. I put output commands and my configs below.

Steps to Reproduce:

Just run ionic cordova build android in multi-app repo.

Output:

@evgeniyefimov Can I also see your angular.json configuration for mobile-app:ionic-cordova-build?

You may be running into the same issue as ionic-team/angular-toolkit#51

@evgeniyefimov Thank you. And this doesn't happen for regular single-app projects?

[evgeniyefimov]

@dwieeb Regular single-app project works fine.

[evgeniyefimov]

As a temporary solution:

"architect": {
        "build": {
          "builder": "@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser",
          "options": {
            "deleteOutputPath": false,

[imhoffd]

@evgeniyefimov I think that should be set automatically by our cordova-build builder. I will update and provide a fix. Thanks!
