I am getting this error when I try to run my project. I have installed the latest build tools- 23.0.3 but still the error persists. How do I fix this?

Executing tasks: [:app:generateDebugSources, :app:generateDebugAndroidTestSources]

Configuration on demand is an incubating feature.

I stucked for two days and finally found my solution. I changed the compileSdkVersion to 27 (same with buildToolsVersion)

compileSdkVersion 27
buildToolsVersion '27.0.3'

this issue comes up with 2 reasons

1) the android SDK has not been install 2) the build toold version corresponsind to the android SDK is not installed

to start open terminal and type android and install API 26(updated one) and build tools version 26.0.1 or 26.0.2 then try to run using command ionic cordova build android

I changed the target=android-26 to target=android-23

project.properties

this works great for me.

After updating my Android SDK I stumbled upon this very problem and I tried many ways without success. What was most irritating to me when searching for a fix, were the lots of answers suggesting to change the CompileSdkVersion to a certain number while obviously this number changes with time, so here's what I did instead.

I created a new project and ran it on the emulator to make sure it's working, then checked its "\android\app\build.gradle" file and copied the numeric value of CompileSdkVersion and pasted into the same file in my other project that could not be built properly anymore. Now my problem's gone. Hope that helps.
