Try adding “platforms/” (without quotes) to your .gitignore file, then do another code push to your repository.

drivetnationex · November 21, 2018, 8:36pm

It’s already in the .gitignore :

Kinda confused as I can build locally. It’s only failing on ionicframework.com and only the Android build.

WebMagiDesigns · November 21, 2018, 9:21pm

The last invalid path error I encountered was due to an error in my “config.xml” file. I left a forward slash “/” on the opening of a plugin that I had added 2 variables to - effectively closing the plugin prior to the variables. It’s difficult to say what your issue could be. But in my experience, Ionic Cloud should not be looking for your “user-provided path” for platform. It should be something like:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL in 1m 29s
46 actionable tasks: 46 executed
Built the following apk(s):
/usr/src/app/platforms/android/app/build/outputs/apk/release/app-release.apk

… but for debug in your case.

Akhyra · November 22, 2018, 9:46am

Fixed the problem by upgrading android-mimnSdkVersion in config.xml to version 23

<preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="23" />

drivetnationex · November 22, 2018, 1:43pm

I have added the and nothing changed on ionic cloud. Here is the whole config.xml

I’m getting the exact same problem.

drivetnationex · November 22, 2018, 8:46pm

FYI, I went through to check each plugin and seems like the cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview is the culprit.

Once removed ionic cloud compile and finish without any trouble.

Makepool · November 22, 2018, 9:03pm

I don’t have that plugin, so it’s still a bit of a mystery. What are you going to do if you need that plugin though?

Quelo · November 23, 2018, 9:58pm

I finally had success building for Android. I found the answer somewhere in slackoverflow.com.
I had to add the below plugin and everything went fine.

cordova plugin add cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release --variable PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION=15.0.0 --fetch

Makepool · November 23, 2018, 11:46pm

This appears to have worked, thank you so much!

frmela · November 24, 2018, 1:19pm

This didn’t work any solution???

rbrasier · November 29, 2018, 9:18am

Yep, same for me. I tried both of these (above) and no luck. Any ideas?

fgiliopublicala · December 4, 2018, 2:25am

I’m having the exact same problem, did anyone find a solution? I’ve opened a ticket, but that might take some time…

EDIT My problem was that ionic cordova resources failed (for some reason) and I was trying to package an incomplete app. The error did not said that anywhere

rbrasier · December 4, 2018, 9:30pm

My problem ended up being a bit of a noob problem. It was caused me accidentally checking in my build.json used for my local builds into git. This was then picked up by ionic pro which tried to use the settings in it…

Removed the build.json from git and it worked.

seepex · December 5, 2018, 8:30am

I’ve had the same problem, what did the trick for me was adding “cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release”: “^2.0.0”, to the package.json (npm install after that) and adding the following to the config.xml:
