Hello,

So when I want to build the project I execute :
git clone ...
npm install
ionic serve (to check if project launch and it's working in browser)
ionic cordova build android -> failed

Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

Same for all others plugins and build failed 
I tried to change node, npm, ionic cli… But there is no change, so I can’t build anymore this project without any reasons.
Thanks for you help.
