I have installed Cordova Tools for Visual Studio 2017. Running it in browser emulation works fine, but when I try to build an APK, it fails with the following error message:

 Could not get resource 'https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/android/tools/build/gradle/2.1.0/gradle-2.1.0.pom'.
  Warning: 'keystore' and 'alias' need to be specified to generate a signed archive.

Solution is to upgrade to Java 1.8 By downloading the JDK then point the Java home to the java 1.8 directory That should work due to TLS1.2 and discontinued TLS1.0 and TLS 1.1 due to security. Java 1.8 support TLS1.2 https://stackoverflow.com/a/50824799/10825931

  1. Download and install Java 1.8 JDK from Oracle website
  2. Go to visual studio
  3. Go to Tools > Options
  4. Go to Tools for Apache Cordova then Environment Variable Overrides
  5. Go and set the directory of JDK 1.8 usually in Program Files/Java or Program Files(x86)/Java depending on whether 32bit or 64bit version installed and click OK
  6. Go and build the Apk
