Cordova - Error code 1 for command | Command failed for

Question

I'm new on cordova, so if my question is not relevant, forgive me. i have a cordova project in my Windows 7 x64 machine. Yesterday i was build my cordova app via cordova build android --release. But i need to add new plugin cordova-plugin-zip to update my cordova project. What i did to add this plugin to my cordova app;

• I installed a git application to my win7 x64 env.
• npm install -g git i wrote this command on cmd.
• I Opened Windows Environment Variables/Path Window and added ;C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd
• add plugin via this command cordova plugin add https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-file.git
• then added other plugin cordova plugin add https://github.com/MobileChromeApps/zip.git (Everything fine till this step)
• Then i run on cmd cordova build android --release

Unfourtunately it throws following error;

BUILD FAILED C:\android\sdk\tools\ant\build.xml:720: The following error occurred while execu ting this line: C:\android\sdk\tools\ant\build.xml:734: Compile failed; see the compiler error o utput for details.

Answer 1

I removed android platforms and installed again then worked. I wrote these lines in command window:

cordova platform remove android
then
cordova platform add android

Answer 2

Delete all the apk files from platfroms >> android >> build >> generated >> outputs >> apk and run command cordova run android

Answer 3

In my case it was the file size restriction which was put on proxy server. Zip file of gradle was not able to download due this restriction. I was getting 401 error while downloading gradle zip file. If you are getting 401 or 403 error in log, make sure you are able to download those files manually.

Answer 4

I have had this problem several times and it can be usually resolved with a clean and rebuild as answered by many before me. But this time this would not fix it.

I use my cordova app to build 2 seperate apps that share majority of the same codebase and it drives off the config.xml. I could not build in end up because i had a space in my id.

com.company AppName

instead of:

com.company.AppName

If anyone is in there config as regular as me. This could be your problem, I also have 3 versions of each app. Live / Demo / Test - These all have different ids.

com.company.AppName.Test

Easy mistake to make, but even easier to overlook. Spent loads of time rebuilding, checking plugins, versioning etc. Where I should have checked my config. First Stop Next Time!

Answer 5

I had the same error code but different issue

Error: /Users/danieloram/desktop/CordovaProject/platforms/android/gradlew: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/android/dx/command/Main : Unsupported major.minor version 52.0

To resolve this issue I opened the Android SDK Manager, uninstalled the latest Android SDK build-tools that I had (24.0.3) and installed version 23.0.3 of the build-tools.

My cordova app then proceeded to build successfully for android.

Answer 6

I'm using Visual Studio 2015, and I've found that the first thing to do is look in the build output.

I found this error reported there:

Reading build config file: \build.json... SyntaxError: Unexpected token

The solution for that was to remove the bom from the build.json file

Then I hit a second problem - with this message in the build output:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: A problem was found with the configuration of task ':packageRelease'.

File 'C:\Users\Colin\etc' specified for property 'signingConfig.storeFile' is not a file.

Easily solved by putting the correct filename into the keystore property

Answer 7

Delete platforms/android folder and try to rebuild. That helped me a lot.

(Visual Studio Tools for Apache Cordova)

Answer 8

Faced same problem. Problem lies in required version not installed. Hack is simple Goto Platforms>platforms.json Edit platforms.json in front of android modify the version to the one which is installed on system.

Answer 9

I found answer myself; and if someone will face same issue, i hope my solution will work for them as well.

• Downgrade NodeJs to 0.10.36
• Upgrade Android SDK 22
