So, I’m simply trying to run my app on a plugged in HTC Desire. The steps I’ve taken are: enabling debugging in the manifest xml, enabled usb debugging on the device itself, and created the AVD with a custom definition in the android AVD manager. The errors I’m getting after running `ionic run android --info` “Could not create the Java Virtual Machine” “Could not reserve enough space for object heap”, as well as the warning “No target specified, deploying device [random device number that i have no clue where it’s coming from]” Here’s an image of my command window: ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/ionicframework/original/2X/a/a7518862f7129807f9e4fed99d14eef11b7ca41e.PNG) Any ideas why i might have this warning and error messages? Are they related issues? or are they two seperate issues? Thanks in advance! 🙂 ---

The warning is harmless. To fix the error increase the amount of memory for the JVM. See: [https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=75060#c11](https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=75060#c11) ---

I got the same error trying to run the build for the “getting started” example. To fix, I created the file **gradle.properties** in the user home (C:\Users\username\.gradle or ~\.gradle) and set the jvm options: ``` org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m ``` **Note:** For Windows, 1024m is maybe too much. I had to set to 512m (even having 8GB of total memory). ---

Oh yes!.. Bravoo… I was almost uninstalling everything and giving up ionic! This solved my problem and gave me strength to kick going. 😉 Merci, beaucoup! 😄 ---

I was having the same problem and i added **org.gradle.jvmargs=-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m** to my gradle.properties . But now i’m having a different problem . \> Error occurred during initialization of VM > ``` > Could not reserve enough space for 2097152KB object heap > > ``` ---

If you are using windows then follow this: Go to Start → Control Panel → System → Advanced system settings → advanced(tab) → Environment Variables → System Variables → New: Variable name:\_ JAVA\_OPTIONS (there is no space between \_ and JAVA\_OPTIONS, but the editor is not letting me do so… ☹ ) Variable value: -Xmx512M I hope this will solve problem, 🙂 ---
