AppFlow Build Failing - Config Error?

Appflow
1

I am very new to AppFlow. I am trying to build my app and it is failing for both IOS and Android for essentially the same thing. The build fails on this line:

capacitor sync IOS (or Android)

My app is a legacy app that doesn’t use Ionic. It uses jQuery Mobile. It’s a very simple app with no plugins. I am trying to migrate from PhoneGap. I am trying to use Capacitor.

I have tried resetting the project per this page.

I have also tried deleting both the Android and IOS folders and recreating per this page.

The relevant part of the build fail seems to be below. It is isn’t much to Google.

Has anyone seen this before? I suspect this is a configuration problem since IOS and Android both fail, but I not sure what to do.

Update:
I have contacted support based on the sticky in this forum. They won’t help without a support plan.

I also changed the permissions on gradlew based on this post. This didn’t help.

Can anyone at least explain what the error means or if there is a way to turn on verbose?

Per the documentation here, there is no verbose mode.

Can you build locally with the ionic build command, and ionic build --prod?

5

Since it’s not an Ionic project, no. It’s a custom project.

If I try:

ionic capacitor sync android --no-build

locally (I’m using Windows 10), the command completes, but there are no changes to the project according to git.

Running the same command for IOS results in an error:

Thank you for you response.
