I'm currently upgrading a 2 years old android application from angular 8 to angular 14 and from ionic 4 to ionic 6.
Upgrade process both for Angular and ionic went well.
I have successfully build an APK for test and customer validating with ionic cordova build android --prod --release.
Next step, i try to build an AAB file for publishing against Play store with ./gradlew bundle command while being in the platforms/android directory.
but the command fail with this error:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Task 'bundle' is ambiguous in root project 'android'. Candidates are: 'bundleAppClassesDebug', 'bundleAppClassesDebugAndroidTest', 'bundleAppClassesDebugUnitTest', 'bundleAppClassesRelease', 'bundleAppClassesReleaseUnitTest', 'bundleDebug', 'bundleRelease'.
So i try running ./gradlew bundleRelease command and then i get this results:
> Configure project :CordovaLib
publishNonDefault is deprecated and has no effect anymore. All variants are now published.
> Configure project :app
+-----------------------------------------------------------------

Configuration 'compile' in project ':app' is deprecated. Use 'implementation' instead.
The Task.leftShift(Closure) method has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 5.0. Please use Task.doLast(Action) instead.

BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 0s

But when i take a look at platforms/android/app/build/outputs directory, i just have the apk directory with the previous build apk file. There is no bundle directory.
No errors, no bundle directory, no AAB file.
I have updated android SDKs, Gradle (7.5.1), Cordova (8.1.2).
I have also tried with ./gradlew assembleRelease and it's the same.
I tried to remove android platform and create it again with no results.
I can stand what is wrong. Any idea ?
EDIT:
I have try to generate an AAB file from another ionic/cordova/angular project (on the same OSX computer) and every thing is ok, i get the AAB file.
EDIT 2:
As @NajamUsSaqib suggest i try compiling with ionic cordova build android --prod --release -- -- --packageType=bundle command.
Command terminated like this:
BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 4s
45 actionable tasks: 1 executed, 44 up-to-date
Built the following apk(s):
/Users/alain/sites/biomesnil_medical/customers_after_sales_application/customers-after-sales/platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release-unsigned.apk
No bundle directory is created an no AAB file is created.

EDIT 3:
After closing terminal and reopen it because cordova stay to 8.x in old terminal. Give a try with cordova 11 in new terminal but now i get errors: https://pastebin.com/5w5xw5VL
