What does the second code block that you posted have to do with the topic or the “Cordova Platforms : not available” from the first code block?

What does cordova platform list return?

3

d:\ionic\btrc_event>cordova platform list
‘cordova’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

4

You don’t have the Cordova CLI installed.

What does npm list -g --depth=0 return?

5

cordova globally not installed. problem solved.

I have exactly the same error as OP when running ionic cordova run android:

Package name: com.SORRYYOUMAYNOTSEEWHATIAMWORKING.ON
LAUNCH SUCCESS
[ERROR] An error occurred while running subprocess cordova.

        cordova run android exited with exit code 1.

        Re-running this command with the --verbose flag may provide more information.

and npm list -g --depth=0 gives me:

+-- cordova@8.0.0
+-- cordova-check-plugins@4.0.2
+-- cordova-plugin-update@0.1.0
+-- ionic@4.0.6
+-- npm@6.1.0
+-- ts@0.0.0
+-- ts-node@7.0.1
`-- typescript@3.0.1

Cordova has been installed globally with npm install -g cordova.

What else can I check to see what is going on?!

Hmmm… Ok, never mind… The problem solved itself after I removed and re-installed 3 plugins in my environment. I had updated those prior to the error appearing, and now it’s fixed.

If it helps anyone, the plugins were:

cordova-plugin-file 6.0.1
cordova-plugin-media 5.0.2
cordova-plugin-advanced-http 1.11.1

This doesn’t seem to be the real solution. I have cordova globally installed, removed platform and all plugins on my current project.

D:\ftproApp>ionic cordova platform list
cordova platform ls

I’ve got this error since I updated to ionic version 4. I can’t even use $ ionic. Is there any solution.
Thank you.
