Got the same error today. Thanks to the comments above, here is how I fixed it.
Ran:
cordova build android --verbose
and it showed me where it got the "Permission Denied" error... In my case it was:
Running command: /usr/libexec/java_home
Command finished with error code 0: /usr/libexec/java_home
ANDROID_HOME=/Users/mj/phonegap/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140321/sdk
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_40.jdk/Contents/Home

-p /Users/mj/EduceMobile/app/platforms/android wrapper -b /Users/mj/EduceMobile/app/platfo
rms/android/wrapper.gradle
To fix, ran:
sudo chmod 755 /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-2.2.1/bin/gradle
...and

Hope it helps.
My problem wasn't permissions... I couldn't quite find the origin of the problem but I did a workaround. this error was happening when I was trying to add a plugin which wasn't updated to the new files/folder system.
cordova platform android -v
it returned -> 8.0.0
What I did was:
cordova platform rm android
cordova platform add android@6.4.0
and then:
cordova plugin add <plugin>
This way the plugin installation showed no errors.. but keep in mind that after the cordova plugin add command, the android platform version automatically updated to 8.0.0 again... so I had to repeat the process in order to add another plugin with the same issue.
After repeating this process 2 times I finally got the project to run with the 2 plugins installed
sudo chmod 755 /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-4.1/bin/gradle
Above solutions didn't work for me. I solved error with this command:
chmod 755 platforms/android/gradlew
You have to fix the 'gradle' to be executable by your system account:
$ sudo chmod 755 /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/grad
le/gradle-<VERSION>/bin/gradle
I had same trouble but now it's working for me.
Changing the permissions of
/Applications/Android Studio App Path /Contents/gradle/gradle-..*/bin/gradle
