There seems to be an error with android@6.2.x and later. I had the same issue and using the below step was able to build my apk.

Do the following: cordova platform remove android

Then add 6.1.2 specifically cordova platform add android@6.1.2

Also found the following as an temporary workaround cordova platform add android --nofetch

ionic cordova platform --help

Examples:

$ ionic cordova platform

$ ionic cordova platform add ios

$ ionic cordova platform add android

$ ionic cordova platform rm ios
