Cordova : [Error: Please install Android target: "android-21"

Question

I just updated cordova + ionic in my app, after that i installed successfully Android-SDK v22 via Android SDK manager.

But after the running command:

cordova build android 

I always get the following message:

Running command: /Users/peter/workspace/myapp/platforms/android/cordova/build 
[Error: Please install Android target: "android-21".

Hint: Open the SDK manager by running: /Users/peter/adt-bundle-mac/sdk/tools/android
You will require:
1. "SDK Platform" for android-21
2. "Android SDK Platform-tools (latest)
3. "Android SDK Build-tools" (latest)]
ERROR building one of the platforms: Error: /Users/peter/workspace/myapp/platforms/android/cordova/build: Command failed with exit code 2
You may not have the required environment or OS to build this project

I tried also

cordova platform rm android 
cordova platform add android 

But with the same result:

I tried to find a few hours any working solution, but with luck.

Thanks for any advice.

Answer 1

I just had the same problem. I had to change the target:

# Project target.
target=android-22

This should be done in two files:

myApp/platforms/android/project.properties myApp/platforms/android/CordovaLib/project.properties

Also the manifest should be updated:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="22" />
