Build failed with Android Cordova Build - The build failed. An error occurred while building the application. Verify your build

[Fuat_A_]

Hi,

When I try to build my app as Cordova Android Build, I get an error saying;

The build failed. An error occurred while building the application. Verify your build assets are correct and try again.

I can successfully build with Crosswalk version. What could be the problem? Thanks for yout time...

The output of build log is below;

Are you still experiencing this issue?

[Fuat_A_]

No, problem has gone so far. Thanks for info.

[Elroy_A_Intel]

Thank you for your patience and support. Happy coding. 

[Barry_Johnson]

Robertina - I am betting you have some third-party plugins. There are problems with the build process with third party plugins that a number of other threads are raising.

[PaulF_IntelCorp]

Robertina, are you able to build a simple app or blank template? Just want to be sure the problem is with your app and not with your account. Please confirm that you can build a simple app. If that works, can you provide an example of an app that is failing the build? If you ZIP the entire project directory and then send a private message (use the "Send Author A Message" link on my post) and provide me with a download link or attach the ZIP to the private message.
