cordova - Error: Failed to fetch platform android

Question

I installed cordova and create a new project.

But when I use this command to add android platform:

cordova platform add android

Answer 1

There seems to be an error with android@6.2.x and later. I had the same issue and using the below step was able to build my apk.

Do the following:

cordova platform remove android

Then add 6.1.2 specifically

cordova platform add android@6.1.2

Also found the following as an temporary workaround

cordova platform add android --nofetch
