Friends,

ionic cordova platform add android

the command wait unlimited time without any result or Error . It’s output is

(node:4895) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: CordovaError: Failed to fetch platform cordova-android@7.0.0
Probably this is either a connection problem, or platform spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and platform name/version/URL.

Hi@anespa,
I think this is the issue related with permission issue of Ubuntu.
try to run the command as super user.

sudo ionic cordova platform add android
