Question

I am trying to generate an APK of my ionic applications. ionic serve render without errors, but when i run ionic cordova build android it give me this error :

i've already try to uninstall then install cordova without results.

C:\Users\Nacim\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\cordova\node_modules\currently-unhandled\core.js:1
(function (exports, require, module, __filename, __dirname) {

    cordova build android --verbose exited with exit code 1.

Any idea of the root of the issue ?

Answer 1

Uninstaling then instaling ionic and cordova resolve the issue. It was caused by some missing dependancies in cordova and ionic package due to poor internet connexion.
