Cordova command fails when trying to "run android"

help

Hi,

I am trying to run a meteor app on my android device via meteor run android-device. I keep getting this error though:

kristis@kristis-UX32LN:~/Projects/listingapp$ meteor run android-device

This error occurs on both android emulator and android device. I tried launching a newly created project though (the basic clicker from the tutorials) and it launches fine.

Also - the app that is now getting an error was working fine a week ago from another location.

Can this be related to the network i’m connected to? If not - what other things should I look at?

It seems the error occurs because 12qesd is used as a package name, which is illegal in Java (package names can’t start with a number). The package name is based on the Cordova app id, which starts with com. by default. Did you use App.info to set id yourself by any chance?

Hello, thanks for the answer!

You’re right - i was assigning the ID myself. The app was not building even after removing wrong id from mobile-config - i had to delete cordova-build folder from project’s ./meteor folder to make it work.

Thanks for the help!
