How about posting the error message Ionic Package shows you for each build so we can actually look at what is going wrong? ---

here’s it , when I build the package it says “Preparing your resources” forever > ANDROID\_HOME=/opt/android-sdk > JAVA\_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle > Error: Could not find gradle wrapper within Android SDK. Might need to update your Android SDK. > Looked here: /opt/android-sdk/tools/templates/gradle/wrapper ---

Post your `ionic info` output please. You have to be using Cordova android 6.2.3 for Cloud builds to work. ---

Now after updating - I even can’t build locally it asks me about something called “Gradle” , I installed it and included it in the path still also asks me about - my client needs the application as soon as possible . [![](http://i.imgur.com/gkVephl.png) ](http://i.imgur.com/gkVephl.png) ---

Run `cordova requirements` to get more information on this. Installing Android Studio is mostly the easiest way to fix this.[quote=“frodoe7, post:12, topic:98844, full:true”] and here’s when I try to build online [/quote] That is a new, different error, isn’t it? How long does it take to appear? Can you try to start a new project with `ionic start blank blank` and build that in the cloud like you do with your app? Same error? ---

I just created a new project and replaced the src folder and installed the plugins again as I remember ```auto this made a problem : ionic package build android --profile=profileName but this worked well : ionic package build android --profile profileName ``` Okey - I’ll post a new topic ---
