Using cordova-fetch for cordova-electron@^5.0.0 Failed to fetch platform cordova-electron@^5.0.0 Probably this is either a connection problem, or platform spec is incorrect. Check your connection and platform name/version/URL.

Hello Paolo,

Please, sorry for the delay... it's a problem here in my hosting with the E-Mail relay... I already open a ticket and hope the problems go on as quickly as possible. :-(

About your problem, it's quite rare... that is... certainly the current Cordova's Electron version is 1.0.0... so it's no way to try to play with the version 5.0.0. That's what the error message means: the required version is not found...

However, it's double rare... because... the BAT files generated by AB do not specify any version of the platforms, and so, the question is why in your case the version 5.0.0 is required..

Trying here in my computer the platform version that it's trying to be used is the expected one: 1.0.0... so, please, try by upgrade Apache Cordova... in order to assert that you are using the latest version.

Hello Paolo,

I refer to the version of Cordova itself... you may can upgrade your Cordova installation: see what version you have running the below command:

cordova --version

You must see the version 9.0.0. If not... you can upgrade Cordova by typing this command:

npm update -g cordova

As you can see... the Cordova's Electron version is 1.0.0... and this is what must be required... not the non yet existing version 5.0.0...

Hello Paolo,

The version of Cordova appear fine. Please, try to upgrade NodeJS too. Download and install the latest stable version. Additionally, check if you meet all the requirements for the Cordova's Electron platform.

After do the above, remove the "_Compiled" directory of the app, compile it again so you can try to run the BAT file again from the scratch.
