Build errors about drawable since upgrading to cordova-android 8.0.0

Bug Report

Problem

What is expected to happen?

Building a cordova app with ionic cordova build android --prod --release does not throw errors.

What does actually happen?

I see this error in the console:

/platforms/android/app/src/main/res/drawable-land-hdpi/screen.png: Error: The drawable "screen" in drawable-land-hdpi has no declaration in the base drawable folder or in a drawable-densitydpi folder; this can lead to crashes when the drawable is queried in a configuration that does not match this qualifier [MissingDefaultResource]

Information

This error was not present in v7.X

I do specify a splash screen in config.xml like so: <splash density="land-hdpi" src="resources/android/splash/drawable-land-hdpi-screen.png" />

And it gets displayed correctly (according to my tests so far)

I'm using this plugin to configure the splash screens: https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/reference/cordova-plugin-splashscreen/

I only included 1 example of the errors I'm getting to keep the bug report small. But I get it for different screen sizes & densities.

I understand that it has something to do with android linting rules: http://tools.android.com/tips/lint-checks

But I don't fully understand if it's a misconfiguration in the plugin or if cordova-android needs to do something differently.

PS: I also posted a bug here https://github.com/apache/cordova-android/issues/689 because I'm not sure where the problem is (if in the plugin or cordova-android).

Command or Code

ionic cordova build android --prod --release

Environment, Platform, Device

On all. It happens on build time.

It only happens with a production "release" build.

@BorntraegerMarc Can you please post the complete output of one of these builds? Best with a new Cordova app that you just created to reproduce this error, then it will be even simpler for us to understand. Bonus points if it is a plain Cordova app, not using Ionic (because that removes another variable). Thanks.
