Unable to compile imported PhoneGap Build project - Utf8Value() error

Appflow

I’m trying to build a simple Android app that works fine on Adobe’s PhoneGap Build service.

The debug build fails with an incomprehensible compiler error.

Has anyone here any ideas ?

I removed a bunch of stuff from package.json to try and get somewhere, even changed my id="" in package.json (it did have more than two dots) but still builds fail with

Ahh, what this error means is you need to set

<engine name="android" spec="^8.0.0">

in config.xml

Of course, this is a pain if you need to target older Android, that should still be supporting as far as I can tell from https://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/latest/guide/platforms/android/index.html#requirements-and-support
