Probably this is either a connection problem, or plugin spec is incorrect.
Check your connection and plugin name/version/URL.

I’m not even able to open the the cordova-plugin-app-event folder in Windows explorer.

@d3w201 thank you very much! I use your method to solve my problem. I do not have a MAC,so I doing this in my windows: install plugin: cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-app-event and install plugin: cordova plugin add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification then there is no problems.

[i SOLVED doing this]

cordova plugin rm de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-device

then copy from my MAC project directory : “myProject/plugin/cordova-plugin-app-event” to my WINDOWS project directory : “myProject/plugin/”

after this try again to install plugin:

cordova plugin add de.appplant.cordova.plugin.local-notification

4 me it works! 😉
