Hi
I had the same problem under windows and have solved it so
Download and Update Java SE Development Kit 8u92
And change System Variables JAVA_HOME to C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_92\
hope it helps...

[justinschuldt]

I solved this problem by changing the Android SDK Build-tools from version 24 to version 23.0.3

In Android Studio I uninstalled Android SDK Build-tools version 24, installed version 23.0.3 and then tried to build the android project with the ionic CLI, and it worked.

I am using jdk1.7.0_79

[inductible-dev]

I had same issue in Cordova/Crosswalk (no Ionic tooling), and resolved as above: changing the Android SDK Build tools from version 24 to version 23.0.3

[roblav96]

Does anyone know why using v24.0.0 causes this error?

[avenashmosur]

I still have this issue. Changing Build tool version to 23.0.3 did not help.
I am using jdk1.7.0_80.
Any idea?

Uninstalling 24 worked for me too but does anyone know why is it coz of a wrong version in the project folder ?

[bmnepali]

Mine worked too on removing the Build Tools 24 and using 23.0.3, i m wondering too why this throws the error!

[jgw96]

Hello! Thanks for using Ionic! As this is an issue with version of the sdk and java that is installed on your machine and not an issue with the Ionic cli I will be closing this issue for now. Thanks for using Ionic!

In addition to downgrading Android Build Tools to 23.0.3 for me the solution was to downgrade cordova-plugin-crosswalk-webview from 2.0.0 to 1.8.0 (2.0.0 discontinues support for Android 4.0)

[maddy619]

No need to downgrade you sdk version.You can download and install latest java 8(jdk1.8.0_101) for ionic version 2.0.0. then edit your environment variable. Restart cmd > go into your project folder start building. It will be success

[rocco]

@maddy619 you're right. I upgraded Java JDK to jdk1.8.0_102 just after my comment and now upgraded SDK tools back to 24.0.2 after your comment - still compiles yay!

Btw. Java Upgrade was a hassle as my CLI showed 1.7 even after Java JDK install. I had to change my ~/.bash_profile (on OSX):

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.8)

and needed to set a Cordova ENV var like this to make Cordova use the current Gradle:

export CORDOVA_ANDROID_GRADLE_DISTRIBUTION_URL='http\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-2.14.1-all.zip'

thanks!

[acurrieclark]

Installing the updated Java SDK from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html fixed all the problems for me, with no need to update any environment variables
