I changed

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

to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.1'

in /platforms/android/build.gradle file. My problem is solved.

Answer 3

In my case this was caused by a wrong value in your config.xml for android-versionCode

This value should be numerical only.

Change your system language to english
This issue comes with Android Studio 3.3
If you're using Single Language OS you can change version by following
File > Project Structure > Project -> Android Plugin Version = 3.2
