Can anyone help me? The only thing I could found about this problem was to uninstall Android SDK Build-tools 24, but I don’t have it installed. I’m completely lost.

try look on the answer here:

hope it will help you.

Not really. I’m building with ionic (command ionic run android) and all answers are related to Android Studio configurations.

ionic run android still does a build in the background, so Android Studio is still relevant. “Unsupported major.minor version 52.0” in this case means that you are trying to build with a Java version less than 1.8, but there is code in your project that requires/was built by Java 1.8.

I don’t know what platform you’re on, but try installing the latest version of Java8 on your system, and then make sure the environment variable $JAVA_HOME is pointing to it.
