Cordova To Android Studio Error Malformed \uxxxx Encoding

I want to import my Cordova project to Android Studio. But when on Grandle Sync, this error is shown - malformed \uxxxx encoding The error part is: def addSigningProps(propsFile

Solution 1:

The error is caused in android build when we use \usr\<blah> i.e a \(backslash) instead of /(forward slash) in directory structure. The parser will see it as an escape character!!

I still don't know from where that \ is getting used from your Cordova Project. You need to figure that out based on what functionalities you are doing and where you are using file system.

According to your code propsFilePath might be having a \ which is causing this error.
