Seems like this issue appeared to me when upgrading to cordova android version 6.3.0 – JoeriShoeby Jan 11 '18 at 12:28

For me this appears when running `cordova run android` when cordova android version 6.4.0 is added. if i specifically add android@6.3 it does not show. – jabu.hlong Jan 29 '18 at 11:37
@jabu.hlong how to add android@6.3 – white-comet Mar 24 '18 at 17:19
@white-comet `ionic cordova platform add android@6.3.0` – jabu.hlong Mar 26 '18 at 11:00
Thank you ! Happened to me after I deleted the apk from my phone – ramsey_lewis Aug 16 '18 at 19:09

Not sure if this will help some other Ionic developers, but I was getting the same Error: Cannot find module 'android-versions' and I fixed it by removing and adding the Android platform again:

ionic cordova platform remove android --save

And then

ionic cordova platform add android --save

If anyone is having this issue while using yarn and even after adding android-versions... it seems that there are differences in yarn/npm files which break...

I ended up removing my node_modules folder, then installing it with npm instead of yarn. It worked!
