Answer 1

First try to remove android platform through command like

ionic cordova platform rm android

and then try to add it again by

ionic cordova platform add android

Lastly if Its not done then once uninstall npm and install it again to higher version(5.6.0).

Answer 2

Th error occurs because the image icon is missing so try the following command after adding the platform by navigating into the project folder

ionic cordova resources

The ionic cordova resources command generates the different sized image for icon and splash screen
