MC-Cordova-Plugin package R does not exist

I'm trying to integrate Marketing Cloud Push Notifications with Ionic 3 using Salesforce Marketing Cloud Cordova Plugin, but when I execute ionic cordova run android --device the error "package R does not exist" appears, here is a part of the error code:

Also same error coming up with vanilla Cordova framwork :(
Douglas Midgley 7Douglas Midgley 7
I've looked into the cause and it seems for some reason the r.java file is not available to this class :/ even from the r.java files I checked I couldn't find the variables so maybe something else is going wrong.
Hardcoding (as much as it isnt a great idea) seems to a viable workaround at the moment APPNAME\platforms\android\app\src\main\java\com\salesforce\marketingcloud\cordovaplugin\MCCordovaPluginApplication.java

To solve this I added the line in MCCordovaPluginApplication.java:

import com.cloudmobile.mcpn.R;

Where com.cloudmobile.mcpn is the packete of my application. However, another problem appeared:

Hmm Doing the same, I didnt get that error. The main issue for me is that the secrets.xml resource file doesnt contain the strings, once I add those there everythings works as expected. Did you have the values present in secrets.xml

In fact, my secrets.xml is empty too, the values are stored in platforms/android/android.json
