Build fails after switching project to Cordova 5.1.1

[David_B_12]

Build fails with following towards the end of the build log.  I switched to project to the new version 5.1.1.  Switching the project back to 4.1.2 produces a successful build. No idea what to do about it as the error message doesn't tell me WHAT is wrong, although this bit worries me:

You may not have the required environment or OS to build this project

Here is the rest:

Are you using 3rd party plugins? Not all plugins are compatible with 5.1.1. It is up to the author of the plugin to update them to be compatible. I would say stick to 4.1.2, or find a 5.1.1 compatible plugin that does what you are looking for.

Thanks John,

Yes it would appear that the push plugin I was using https://github.com/phonegap-build/PushPlugin has now been dumped in favour of https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-push for some reason.
