Confirmed. I tested on linux which the issue does not appear to trigger, but on windows the issue occurs. So it does appear to be a windows-environment only issue.

This might be a side effect of the change in #1778

i'm getting this path error with everything up to date (pc username has space)

i added " " to check_reqs.js to fix it :

const result = execa.sync(path.join('"'+__dirname, 'getASPath.bat"'), { shell: true });

The patch hasn't landed in any releases yet. I believe we are looking into making a patch release soon which will contain the fix.

If you're blocked by this issue, installing the nightly version should get you by until the patch is released.

cordova platform remove android
cordova platform add android@nightly

Just be aware that nightly will include all unreleased commits that have not been voted on for release. It will be strongly recommended to switch to a versioned release once 14.0.1 is available.
