It's a know issue, https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-7281

After install or update cordova with sudo, it changes the owner of user tmp dir to root.

Set the correct user to fix:

$sudo chown user:usergroup /home/user/tmp/

I'm ubuntu 14.04 but I had the same issue today. I had to run 

cordova plugin add https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cordova-plugin-device.git

From inside of the folder ionic created. Then I had to make sure my environment variables like JAVA_HOME were set. Not sure if this fixes your issues but hopefully it helps.
