Error when building cordova App - Could not find property 'cdvCompileSdkVersion'

Question

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• Where: Build file '/Users/severindeutschmann/Meteor/pichapp/.meteor/local/cordova-build/platforms/android/CordovaLib/build.gradle' line: 48

• What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating project ':CordovaLib'.

  Could not find property 'cdvCompileSdkVersion' on com.android.build.gradle.LibraryExtension_Decorated@54226e53.

• Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

This happens when I try to build my app using Meteor build ...... There where several other issues before that, but searching github and google suggested editing build.gradle and build-extra.gradle - i fixed several issues on the way and tried several approaches but all of them end at this error message where i don't have any idea at how to fix it.

Would love if someone could help me, I'm stuck for hours on this now.

Answer 1

replace cdvCompileSdkVersion by your own sdkVersion, my version is 21, so as to cdvBuildToolsVersion. There is an example:

compileSdkVersion 21 buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"
