ionic-v1
1

I have been trying to run an ionic v1 project that was made in Creator and downloaded as a ZIP archive. We have a proxy on the corporate network and this is currently causing issues with downloading dependencies from maven central/jcenter etc during the build. Whilst this is being looked at, I have installed the required dependencies using mvn install into my local maven repo from mvnrepository.com.

The following were downloaded and installed based on the following gradle build files:

  • platforms/android/build.grade

  • platforms/android/app/build.gradle

  • platforms/android/cordovaLib/build.gradle

      classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
  classpath 'com.github.dcendents:android-maven-gradle-plugin:1.5'
  classpath 'com.jfrog.bintray.gradle:gradle-bintray-plugin:1.7.3'

I then changed the build.gradle files above so that the only entry in buildscript->respositories and allprojects->repositories is mavenLocal()

Running ionic cordova run android now gives me the following error:

ANDROID_HOME=C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
