Fixed this issue by removing an empty ndk-bundle folder from SDK root folder (have no idea why and when it has appeared):

Here is the explanation why it helps from the issue on Android bug tracker:

For anyone still experience this issue on plugin 3.0.0-alpha1 or later. Please file a new bug and try to answer all question in #33. We need more information to debug the problem and adding comments to a closed bug is an easy way for it to get lost.

To give a bit of background, the plugin checks whether the NDK directory is valid. Most likely, you are not using NDK. We automatically assume it's in {sdk}/ndk-bundle. It will be ignored if {sdk}/ndk-bundle does not exist. If you see 'NDK is missing a "platforms" directory.', it means there is an {sdk}/ndk-bundle, but not a {sdk}/ndk-bundle/platforms directory. This means you have a corrupted NDK for some reason. It is safe to just remove {sdk}/ndk-bundle if you are not using it.
