I have the same problem. Any update on this?

I also had this issue but ran “ionic cordova run android” and it pointed to the Gradle Daemon.

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Unable to start the daemon process.
This problem might be caused by incorrect configuration of the daemon.
For example, an unrecognized jvm option is used.
Please refer to the user guide chapter on the daemon at https://docs.gradle.org/4.1/userguide/gradle_daemon.html
Please read the following process output to find out more:
-----------------------
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for 2097152KB object heap


* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

To resolve this I added a new environment variable to set the maximum heap size:
Name: _JAVA_OPTIONS
Value: -Xmx512M

It then made a fuss about not accepting license agreements for the Android SDK build tools so I ran this command from the C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools\bin directory.

sdkmanager --licenses

Accept each agreement.

I had the same problem and solved it as follows:

  • First I deleted folder platforms (you can also move it to another place).
  • Executed ionic cordova platform add android.
  • After this ionic cordova build android worked again.
