Answer 1

Heres some good idea how to fixed the error when building the ionic app in android

1. Be sure that the Android Studio path is working.

2. In building the app lets follow the documentation and use the following:

   ionic cordova run android --prod (if works success proceed to next)
   ionic cordova run android --prod --release

3. Base on your error you can fix it by instructing Gradle to download Android plugin from Maven Central repository.

You do it by pasting the following code at the beginning of the Gradle build file:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.1.1'
    }
}

4. Be sure that you install gradle https://gradle.org/install/
