Answer 1

For those who gets similar error after updating Android Studio to version 3.x, you can run the following command to fix it:

sudo chmod 755 /Applications/Android\ Studio.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-4.1/bin/gradle

Hopefully it helps!

Answer 2

Running ionic build android --verbose gives the following output:

/Applications/Android Studio 2.4 
Preview.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-3.4.1/bin/gradle -p 
/Users/rlopez/myApp/platforms/android wrapper -b 
/Users/rlopez/myApp/platforms/android/wrapper.gradle

Changing the permissions of /Applications/Android Studio 2.4 Preview.app/Contents/gradle/gradle-3.4.1/bin/gradle solves the problem.

Answer 3

Just encountered the same issue, and I don't think it has anything to do with sudo - that command is simply missing the execute permission

chmod +x hooks/after_prepare/010_add_platform_class.js
