I am currently attempting to emulate (and then build) and Ionic+Cordova App (w/ Angular) for Android. I feel the need to preface this by saying am not an Android developer, this is the first time I’ve had to set up the environment so I apologize for any “obvious” mistakes or missed steps.
I have been unable to get past this error (appears after running ionic cordova emulate android --debug --consolelogs):
BUILD FAILED
Total time: 0.794 secs
[11:12:25] lint finished in 1.74 s
Error: /path/to/app/platforms/android/gradlew: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* Where:
Build file '/path/to/app/platforms/android/build.gradle' line: 24
* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'android'.
> Could not find which method maven() to invoke from this list:
public abstract org.gradle.api.artifacts.repositories.MavenArtifactRepository org.gradle.api.artifacts.dsl.RepositoryHandler#maven(groovy.lang.Closure)
public abstract org.gradle.api.artifacts.repositories.MavenArtifactRepository org.gradle.api.artifacts.dsl.RepositoryHandler#maven(org.gradle.api.Action)
I get a similar message within Android Studio when I attempt to Build my project or sync Gradle:
Could not find which method maven() to invoke from this list:
public abstract org.gradle.api.artifacts.repositories.MavenArtifactRepository org.gradle.api.artifacts.dsl.RepositoryHandler#maven(groovy.lang.Closure)

The line in my build.gradle file that’s failing looks like this:
buildscript {
repositories {
maven () < HERE
jcenter()
google ()
}
// Switch the Android Gradle plugin version requirement depending on the
// installed version of Gradle. This dependency is documented at
// http://tools.android.com/tech-docs/new-build-system/version-compatibility
// and https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8143
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.7'
}
}
For context, I have:
Downloaded Android Studio, JDK, and the SDK Tools as well as (in trying to troubleshoot) installed Gradle and Maven via homebrew.
Added the following paths to my .bash_profile (and confirmed that the file paths contain what they say they do, with matching versions):
export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk`
export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
export JRE_HOME=$JAVA_HOME/jre
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$JRE_HOME/bin
export M2_HOME=/usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.5.3/libexec
export M2=$M2_HOME/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$M2_HOME/bin
export PATH=$PATH:/opt/gradle/gradle-4.7/bin
