Failed to fetch platform [email protected]

I'm trying to update the cordova platform to android 6.2.2, but I get the following error:

c:\xampp\htdocs\project>cordova platform update [email protected]
Using cordova-fetch for [email protected]
Error: Failed to fetch platform [email protected]
Probably this is either a connection problem, or platform spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and platform name/version/URL.
Failed to get absolute path to installed module

I couldn't figure out what's wrong, any idea?

Try deleting everything from the platforms folder and then installing them again. That solved the issue for me. I have also deleted and re-installed node_modules as the name change requires it.

There seems to be an error with [email protected] and later. I had the same issue and using the below step was able to build my apk.

Do the following:

cordova platform remove android

Then add 6.1.2 specifically

cordova platform add [email protected]

Also found the following as an temporary workaround

cordova platform add android --nofetch

Solution
