GitHub user breautek edited a comment on 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 may be (in the order of likeliness): 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 Your OS is out of date and doesn't have the latest intermediate certificates 3.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 The nature of the error makes it difficult to pinpoint the exact cause, but it is a client side environment issue. > Build-Tools 36-rc5 This isn't your issue at hand but will be an issue later. Build Tools 36 is currently not supported. cordova-android@13 will expect the latest version of build tools 34. cordova-android@14 (not yet released) will expect the latest version of build tools 35.
