A newly created Ionic project does not build for android

Ionic Framework Ionic Angular
1

I just created a new Ionic Project with blank template. After I have added android platform to that project and tried the following command.

ionic cordova build android

I get the following error

ng.cmd run app:ionic-cordova-build --platform=android
An unhandled exception occurred: Project target does not exist.
See “C:\Users\x~1\AppData\Local\Temp\ng-vh8aNb\angular-errors.log” for further details.
[ERROR] An error occurred while running subprocess ng.

Below is my ionic info

Have you considered using Capacitor?

I Want to be on Cordova… Caoacitor is not an option for now. My environment everything was working fine. After I upgraded to the latest Node / NVM / Ionic/ Codova it stopped working. I have updated the ionic to latest version ionic 6.19 .0. But still not working.
