I am having issues building and running ionic app. When I try to `ionic cordova build android` the error wll show:

In my GraddleBuilder.js:

```auto
 var distributionUrl = process.env['CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL'] || 'https\\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip';

```

In my graddle-wrapper.properties:

```auto
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=../gradle-3.3-all.zip

```

Everytime I change my `graddle-wrapper.properties` to `../gradlle-4.1-all.zip` it will change back to `../gradlle-3.3-all.zip` after executing build or run command. Please help.
