Descripción
## Description
When using Ionic CLI with a recent version of `cordova-android`, running:
```bash
ionic cordova platform add android
```
automatically re-adds deprecated `` entries to `config.xml`.
These tags are no longer supported by recent versions of `cordova-android` and cause the following warning/error during build:
```text
The "" tags were detected and are no longer supported.
Please migrate to the "preference" tag "AndroidWindowSplashScreenAnimatedIcon".
```
The issue does not occur when adding the Android platform directly with Cordova CLI.
## Environment
```text
Ionic CLI : 7.2.1
Ionic Framework : @ionic/angular 9.0.1
@angular-devkit/build-angular : 22.1.6
@angular-devkit/schematics : 22.1.6
@angular/cli : 22.1.6
@ionic/angular-toolkit : 13.0.0
Cordova CLI : 13.0.0
Cordova Platforms : android 15.1.0
cordova-res : 0.15.4
NodeJS : v24.20.0
npm : 11.19.0
OS : Windows 10
```
## Steps to reproduce
1. Remove the Android platform:
```bash
ionic cordova platform rm android
```
2. Remove all legacy `` entries from `config.xml`.
The relevant part of the configuration contains only the new splash screen preferences:
```xml
```
3. Run:
```bash
ionic cordova platform add android
```
4. Check `config.xml`.
The following entries are automatically added back:
```xml
```
## Important comparison
If I repeat the same process but use Cordova CLI directly:
```bash
cordova platform rm android
cordova platform add android
```
the deprecated `` entries are NOT added back.
So the behavior appears to be specific to the Ionic CLI wrapper:
```text
cordova platform add android
=> config.xml remains unchanged
ionic cordova platform add android
=> deprecated tags are added back
```
## Expected behavior
`ionic cordova platform add android` should not add deprecated `` tags when using recent versions of `cordova-android`.
Ideally, it should preserve:
```xml
```
without generating legacy splash screen entries.
## Actual behavior
Ionic CLI re-adds legacy `` elements, even though they are unsupported by `cordova-android 15.1.0`.
## Workaround
Using Cordova CLI directly avoids the problem:
```bash
cordova platform add android
```
After that, builds using:
```bash
ionic cordova build android
```
work correctly and do not re-add the `` entries.
## Additional notes
This may be related to the Ionic CLI resource generation flow / `cordova-res`, since `cordova-res 0.15.4` is used by the current Ionic CLI Cordova integration.
Guía de contribución
Línea de trabajo
Start with the `ionic cordova platform add android` flow in the Ionic CLI and trace its resource-generation integration, especially `cordova-res 0.15.4`; compare it with direct `cordova platform add android`. Done means adding Android no longer restores deprecated `` entries when the modern splash preferences are already present.
