GitHub user breautek added a comment to the discussion: Android build failing before launch
> Exception in thread "main" javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target at sun.security.ssl.Alerts.getSSLException(Alerts.java:192) This suggest that gradle cannot make a secure https connection. Reasons why that might be (in the order of likliness: 1. I think Java might include its own certificates as well, so out-dated JDK could also be a problem. Latest android environments requires JDK 17, so you should double check that you have the latest patch of JDK 17 installed. 2. Your OS is out of date and doesn't have the latest intermediate certificates 3. VPN is manipulating the connection and is preventing a proper handshake 4. HTTP proxy is manipulating the connection and is preventing a proper handshake This isn't your issue at hand but will be an issue later > Build-Tools 36-rc5 is currently not supported. cordova-android@13 will expect the latest version of build tools 34. cordova-android@14 will expect the latest version of build tools 35.
