[Solved] Android Build Fails

[Joe]

Hi, I'm trying to build a Cordova project for Android on Windows and it seems like whatever I try, I keep riunn

android Build Tooling revision 2016.03.01.1r
    Warning: npm
    Warning: ERR!

Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

I've tried running as admin, and all that kind of thing. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing the plugin install to fail?

Never mind, I recreated the project and the problem mysteriously vanished - the only difference between the two was that I had set the FrameworkVersion to 4.0.0 in the first version. Could that have been the issue?

[Joe]

Ah, after reading the docs I found out you have to set the framework version through appbuilder mobileframework set <Version>, not just by changing the value in the project file. My bad! Will leave this here in case anyone else runs into the same issue.
