Ionic2 can not build due to cross walk plugin

Hi there.

After 3 days of struggling , I am not able to install ionic2. Actually it works for androids with version 4.4.2 and above (in versions less than this, shows a blank screen, a common problem in forum or github issue part). For working in android ex. 4.2.1 , I found out that I should install cross walk plugin. But after that, my app didn’t build anymore.

I found different solutions, like this or this one. But again, the same errors.
My error while running: ionic build android :

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Any idea?

This happens occasionally when the remote site from which the cross walk plugin resources is contained is unreachable or if you try to build the app without internet.

Just ensure you have internet when you build the app and try again later.

You can also try updating crosswalk.
