ionic-v1

I am trying to build an ionic test application using a mac. The build keeps failing with the following message:

Here are the things I’ve tried so far:

  1. Uninstall and re-install android studio
  2. Delete .gradle directory from the user folder so that it will download it again. At the same time, I also removed and added the android platform using ionic cordova rm/add android command
  3. Defined a new ionic project after re-installing android studio.

None of the steps fixed the problem. I am using ionic version 3.12.0 and cordova version 7.0.1

How can I fix this problem?

Did you try running a sample native application first ? To see if the error come from your android studio setup or your ionic/cordova app. You can also try to reinstall cordova.
You are saying that you are using ionic 3.12.0 but the tag is for ionic-v1. I am missing something

Is ionic cordova requirements happy?
What exact command are you executing?
Did you run anything with sudo before when creating or building this project?
Can you build a new project created with ionic start?

Also post your ionic info output please.

thanks for you questions, i was able to fix the problem. My Android Studio only had the Android SDK platform 26 installed. I just installed platform 25.

I think the Ionic version 3.12.0 is for the CLI. Anyway, I was able to fix the problem by installing Android platform 25.
