Hello,

I have upgraded ionic and cordova with npm install -g cordova ionic
Ionic version is "2.2.3"
Cordova version is “7.0.0”

After upgrading I am not able to build or generate APK for my apps.

Remove the android platform and then add it again.
There are some problems with the new cordova cli 7.0

Hi @LoLStats,

Thanks for the reply.

I have removed android platform and added it again, still got the same error.
I am facing this error for apps that I have created after upgrading to Ionic 3, Build is working for old apps that I have created previously.

Issue resolved after adding environment variable: :grinning:

GRADLE_HOME=/xxx/xxx/android-studio/gradle/gradle-3.2
export GRADLE_HOME
PATH=$PATH:$GRADLE_HOME/bin; export PATH

@TaimoorMughal,

you can add the environment variable from .bash_profile file.

vi ~/.bash_profile

add GRADLE_HOME and update your PATH variable as I have mentioned.
do source ~/.bash_profile

Thank you for your help, found another solution too, you may use the platforms of the previous apps, mine error was related to platforms it wasn’t downloading the complete platform of android, so I used the previous app platform and it worked :slight_smile: :stuck_out_tongue:
