Compilation issues with ionic

I am having trouble building my ionic app. It seems to fails in the dex module during the build process. I have tried re-installing Java,Android sdk,Android studio,ionic,cordova, but the issue persists.
OS: Windows 7 32 bit.
Below is the error I get

-post-compile:

I’m not sure what your erros means, it’s giving no real error message…

I’ve received similair errors on my own project, so try following things:

  • Make sure all your code is valid, syntactically incorrect code gave me exit code 1 and exit code 8 together before.

If that doesn’t work:

  • remove and add platform (s), this worked on a particulair instance for me (it probably forced to build clean or something like that)

I just created a new project in ionic and built it while i got the error. No custom code added.
I even uninstalled ionic and cordova and re-installed but no luck.
