Just to clarify, I changed my package.json to:

"cordova-android": "6.2.0",

which fixed the problem for me.

Solution 3:^[3]

go to ionic_folder/platforms/android/build.gradle

If you see this lines of code in your file

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }

    }
Change the order of the executions

  buildscript {
    repositories {

        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }
        jcenter()

    }
Then go again and run your application by doing ionic cordova run android
