[AppFlow Capacitor] Permission denied - /builds/***/ionic-capacitor/android/gradlew

Appflow

I created a new tabs app with capacitor with only scaffold-ed code. In the AppFlow the package for android succeeded.

I then added android platform and make sure it works in both emulator and my android mobile phone in my local computer. In the AppFlow the package for android failed.

Can anyone help please?

Also got this, exact same error, build number 6752211. It was on a new project where I followed the “get started” guide for android + capacitor.

Have you tried to update gradle via Android studio? Once initial loading of files are configured, you’ll see a notification on bottom right hand corner stating to upgrade the gradle verison in the project. Also It says Permission denied in which you don’t have access to build signed APKs.

I did the same and have the same issue. Did you resolved it?

It may be necessary to add execute permissions to custom build and hook scripts included in a project repo. This most frequently presents with the error Error: spawn EACCES during Deploy or Package builds.

Adding execute permissions is possible on any OS with git installed using the following command.

git update-index --chmod=+x

This command modifies the repo directly. Be sure to run this after running git add and before git commit.

example:

git add . git update-index --chmod=+x git commit -m ‘adding execute permissions’ git push ionic master

Hi everyone, as a couple of you mentioned, it’s a permissions issue. When the Android platform is added (via Capacitor) on a Windows system, this file can be missing the necessary Linux style execute permissions.

The Appflow team just shipped a fix to handle this inside of Appflow, so native Android builds should work fine as-is now. However, you still might want to tweak the permissions of the Gradle file. Details here.
