Answer 1

OK THEN, After update my gradle and set the environment variable on Windows 7 of the /bin gradle folder (yes, i didn't), upgraded Android Studio, upgraded Cordova to 8.1.2, do "cordova platform rm android" and "cordova platform add [email protected]" on any change i finaly found the issue.

I just uninstalled NDK in SDK Manager. For me it works, i don't know if it is for all but i finaly built my project !

Sorry for english and ty for reply all

Answer 2

Changing build.gradle repositories to use maven repository solves this issue:

allprojects {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
        maven {
            url "https://maven.google.com"
        }
        jcenter()
    }
}
