$ ~/.cordova/lib/android/cordova/3.5.0/bin/check_reqs
[Error: An error occurred while listing Android targets]

Thanks to Stack Overflow, I managed to find a fix - http://stackoverflow.com/a/21142421

The error is because cordova did not know where to find the Android Platform and Android Platform Tools in my environment.

To fix this, define environment variable for $ANDROID_HOME and $ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS. I was able to set mine in ~/.bash_profile.

Hope this helps someone.

I still get the error, despite setting this:

For full info, see this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26783594/phonegap-cordova-build-android-node-modules-q-q-js-throw-e

export ANDROID_HOME="/Users/rover/Documents/Dev/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk/"
export ANDROID_PLATFORM_TOOLS="$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/"
export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools/21.0.2":"$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/":"$ANROID_HOME/tools":"$cdba/headers":$PATH
export ANT_HOME="/usr/local/bin/ant"

$ which android
/Users/rover/Documents/Dev/Android/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20140702/sdk/tools/android

$which ant

/usr/local/bin/ant

ant --execdebug
exec ".../jdk1.8.0_05.jdk/..."

I'm on OSX 10.10.

Is Ant Java 1.8 ok?

Any other ideas?
