I use (edited :)cordova-android@6.4.0 and cordova 8.1.2(cordova-lib@8.1.1)

Hope someone can help me...

Same here, I guess jcenter.bintray.com could have made some changes that induced this error. — a--m, Oct 23 '18 at 14:35

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

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

This file can be found on platforms/android/build.gradle.

@ACES it did work for me. Do you still see the same error, trying to download dependencies from https://jcenter.bintray.com ? – a--m Oct 23 '18 at 21:18
Ty @a--m, don't know if it working or if i have another issue but my build fail with this message : "No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: mips64el-linux-android" I installed NDK and CMake with Android Studio but it's the same, any idea ? :( – Lina M Oct 24 '18 at 08:32
@JoshuaTorri this should fix the problem described by the OP where the resources load from jcenter fail. You should be seing an error like the one in the question, like: `Searched in the following locations: https://jcenter. ....`. This solution fixed this error. – a--m Oct 24 '18 at 08:35
Nope @a--m , now i have this error : BUILD FAILED in 2s cmd: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output: FAILURE: Build failed with an exception. * What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring root project 'android'. > No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: mips64el-linux-android * Try: Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.

@JTorri Looks different. Not sure if it could relate somehow, but did not experience this. You may want to check this thread to see if anything helps: https://github.com/google/filament/issues/15 – a--m Oct 24 '18 at 09:00

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 android@6.4.0" 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
