Hi, The issue happened due the removal of jar file from the repository: https://bintray.com/bintray/jcenter/com.android.tools.external.com-intellij:intellij-core/26.0.1#files/com%2Fandroid%2Ftools%2Fexternal%2Fcom-intellij%2Fintellij-core%2F26.0.1

There is a fix for it that should be implemented in cordovalib: open: platforms\android\CordovaLib\build.gradle

Replace the order of repositories from: repositories { jcenter() maven { url "https://maven.google.com" } }

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

I think this fix should be also implemented in cordova

@dpogue can’t it be a hotfix for current major version? I think it’s very important to fix this issue
