Cordova Build Gradle Error while opening/extracting zip file

This is because you have already downloaded a corrupt version of the Gradle package in your system directory. (Maybe due to internet connection issues?) Just go to your local path below and remove all contents inside it.

/Users/tyrant/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-2.2.1-all/2m8005s69iu8v0oiejfej094b/

Run cordova build again. This will fix your issue for sure.


Check whether you are having download limit and, if so, download the gradle zip file manually, place it in folder such as /Users/tyrant/.gradle/wrapper/dists/gradle-2.2.1-all/2m8005s69iu8v0oiejfej094b/ and run the command.


I read a lot of this problem, and i found 2 solutions, the 1st one is to remove all contents inside it (as the last post said) but it doesn't work for all, in my case don`t.

The other solution is to put in a local folder of the project the zip file and change the path, and that is not a real solution, cause the size is 50 mb...

So the easiest way i found is just download the right zip from the Gradle site--> https://services.gradle.org/distributions and just replace it in your computer manually... and this works instantly for me.
