I used brew to install Android-SDK and installed all possible build-tools:

And my android manifest looks like:

As requested here is the responce for cordova build android --verbose: http://pastebin.com/rqdkVKYG

Answer 1

I found the bug.

While testing, reinstalling android-sdk and ant. I tried to create a new project. Than typed in the terminal cordova build and it build flawlessly. After this I copied my existing WWW folder in to the new project. Typed cordova build again, it gave an error. Now I knew that the bug was in my WWW folder and not in the project itself. Scanning my folders I noticed a file with no extension(hidden files). I deleted the file and tried again. Success!

SUMMARY: Scan your folders for files without extensions and delete or move them. Cordova doesn't like those.

EDIT

If this doesn't work try:

cordova platform rm android

then reinstall android using :

cordova platform add android

Now try to build.

Answer 2

try ant -v in your terminal and make sure it's above 1.8. Cordova requires that. Also check path is given correct for Ant, Android-SDK/tools, and Android-SDK/platformtools

To debug exact issue try $Cordova build android --verbose

Let me know.

Answer 3

¿Did you add to windows path the sdk?

You can also try:

• cordova platform add android
• cordova build

Answer 4

try to run the command $home/.cordova/lib/android/cordova/3.3.0/bin/check_reqs to check if you have all the required components installed for android.
