My main dev computer needs to be rebuilt, so before I did that I installed my entire cordova environment on another system, once I rebuild the dev computer then I will be upgrading everything. But on the new computer I keep getting the following error:

> cordova.cmd build android
cordova-custom-config: Skipping auto-restore of config file backup(s)
cordova-custom-config: Applied custom config from config.xml to c:\Users\rolin\dev\AttendaGo\platforms\android\app\src\main\AndroidManifest.xml
cordova-plugin-firebasex: Preparing Firebase on Android
Checking Java JDK and Android SDK versions
ANDROID_HOME=%ANDROID_SDK_ROOT (recommended setting)
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=C:\Users\rolin\AppData\Local\Android\sdk (DEPRECATED)
Using Android SDK: C:\Users\rolin\AppData\Local\Android\sdk
Subproject Path: CordovaLib
Subproject Path: app

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Script 'C:\Users\rolin\dev\AttendaGo\platforms\android\CordovaLib\cordova.gradle' line: 75

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating script.
> No usable Android build tools found. Highest 32.x installed version is 28.0.2; Recommended version is 32.0.0.

The only difference between the two environments is this:

  • Dev Computer: Android Studio 2020.3.1 arctic fox
  • New Computer: Android Stduio 2024.3.2 Meerkat Feature Drop

I have searched through multiple SO posts of similar issue and none of the answers worked for me.

Cordova Cli - No usable Android build tools found

"cordova build android" fails with "no installed build tools found"

Path issue? Cordova - No installed build tools found. Please install the Android build tools version

....and more.

I compared my environment variables to my original dev system and they are all the same. I even tried to pin the environment variable for build-tools straight to 35.0.1 - but still get the same error. Its like something has permanently pinned the app to build tools 28.0.2.

Attached are screenshots of my environment variables and Android Studio SDK Manager

  • According to your screenshots you have installed "Android SDK Build-Tools 36" which may be too new for Cordova. Enable "Show Package Details" and install version 32.0.0 of Android SDK Build-Tools 36 that should be the one Cordova mentions. Commented Jun 21 at 13:11
