cordova gradle build SUCCESSFUL and then turns into FAILED. Maybe something is wrong with the versions? It seems to download a lower gradle version in the middle… why?

Starting with versions: Gradle 7.3.3, Cordova 10.0.0, Java/JDK 17.0.2 – Here is the transcript (leaving only the main things):

C:MYAPPProject>cordova build android –release
(node:10944) ExperimentalWarning: The fs.promises API is experimental
Checking Java JDK and Android SDK versions
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=C:UsersUSERAppDataLocalAndroidSdk (recommended setting)
ANDROID_HOME=C:UsersUSERAppDataLocalAndroidSdk (DEPRECATED)
Using Android SDK: C:UsersUSERAppDataLocalAndroidSdk
Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)

Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 8.0.

You can use '--warning-mode all' to show the individual deprecation warnings and determine if they come from your own scripts or plugins.

See https://docs.gradle.org/7.3.3/userguide/command_line_interface.html#sec:command_line_warnings

  1. Chosen as BEST ANSWER

    After struggling for hours to find the correct versions, it appears that the following combination seems to build successfully:

    cordova 10.0.0
    jdk 11.0.13
    Gradle 7.1.1
    Android Gradle Plugin 4.2.2

    There were many other problems, overcome with the help of other discussions on the web. I kept a record of them, if anyone is interested.


  2. First Successful build means successful execution of gradle wrapper. Its task was to download the gradle 7.1.1. The second build (the build you want to execute) ends with failure, because of your gradle jvm version. If you are using IntelliJ IDEA, open gradle settings(this may be on the left part of your screen) or just open preferences > Build, Execution, Deployment > Build Tools > Gradle and set the Gradle JVM
