Ive finnished a final year project using phonegap on OSX and i want to make a APK for user testing.
When i've been testing the app on my android tablet i use
phonegap run android // or // cordova run android
it builds and goes onto my android device fine, works properly and all the plugins work fine, however i want to be able to make its own .APK file so friends can test it and give me feedback.
I was told to use
phonegap build android --release
When i use this command it will fall over with an exit code 1 saying i may not have the required platform or OS to build this project, despite when running the previous command it says build fine.
Error code in CLI

I've ensured android tools & platform tools are up in my $PATH, checked SDK manager to ensure ive got version 14 to latest installed, checked the Platforms.JSON file to ensure the versions are set to the minimum, the config.xml
says <preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="16" />
Honestly not sure how to do it
