Error executing command ‘ant’ on Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks when building for Android with PhoneGap/Cordova

by

The error message proved to be true as Apache Ant isn’t in the path of Mac OS X Mavericks anymore.

Bulletproof solution:

  1. Download and install Homebrew by executing following command in terminal:

    ruby -e “$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)”

  2. Install Apache Ant via Homebrew by executing

    brew install ant

Run the PhoneGap build again and it should successfully compile and install your Android app.
