Your Cordova tooling seems to be out of date - current `cordova-android` is `7.1.1` - which might be causing all kinds of problems. You can read about how to figure out the current Cordova versions and how to update CLI, platforms and plugins here: [https://ionic.zone/cordova/update](https://ionic.zone/cordova/update)

Also, your error message indicates a problem reading some JSON file. Does that ring a bell?

Post your `ionic info` again please.

Create a new project with `ionic start`, update it to most recent versions, then try to build that one. Does it work?

That’s _really_ strange.

Is this the complete output of the command? What command exactly?  
Run the same command with `--verbose` added at the end and post its output.

I also get ‘gradle’ errors sometimes. This is what I do to solve that:

1. Close all applications you’re using (Better to reboot; this clears running processes faster who may be using the files you’re going to delete)
2. In your user folder ( C:\Users\XXX\ ) there is a folder called .gradle. Delete the whole folder.
3. Start Android Studio and create/open a random (empty) project.
4. You’ll notice down in the status bar that the IDE is downloading and/or installing gradle stuff. Wait for it to finish.

Go back to your Ionic project  
5. Delete the **platforms** , **plugins** and **www** folder (optionally **node\_modules** folder too)  
6. Execute `ionic cordova run android` again. Accept when CLI is asking for downloading node\_modules etc.

Hope this helps…

Are you using any Native Plugin? This sometimes happens when a plugin isn’t compatible with the Android version you’re trying to use

Hello Sir,

Try downgrading to Cordova7.1.0, if you’re using Cordova8.0.0.

Why should changing a global CLI have any effect on what a local platform is doing?
