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

I had this same problem, however, the issue was a missing peer dependency on acorn.

Adding acorn to the devDependencies section of my package.json did the trick.

So my suggestion is to look for missing peer dependencies and add them to the devDependencies section of your package.json.
