Please, Anyone can help me?

Up. I’m still with same problem.

Hi zerutreck, i had the same problem and i solved it.
The problem was that the apache ant folder were placed in “Programs File(x86)”. In windows os this folder is protected, so you need the administrator permission to use the file inside that folder.
Verify if your ant folder is placed in these folder and change the position.
The problem is that Git Bash or other programs for launch the app build tries to access to the folder for the build, but they have not the permission. So they are blocked. If you use a cmd with administrator permission (on windows), it work.
