I tried to add android platform to my project but I got error:

~/learn/hello$ cordova platform add android
npm http GET https://registry.npmjs.org/cordova-android/4.0.0
npm http 401 https://registry.npmjs.org/cordova-android/4.0.0
Unable to fetch platform android: Error: unauthorized Name or password is incorrect.: cordova-android/4.0.0

I'm wondering why this is happening Cordova version 5.0.0, Phonegap version 5.0.0-0.27.1

I think this issue because of .npmrc in your home directory, just remove it and everything should work

  • use "npm config ls -l | grep config" to list all configs, i just remove the user one.

Most likely you have credentials in your .npmrc file that you need for publishing and cordova is misinterpreting them to be used.

Fix for this has been submitted: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-8956 and won't show up until 5.1+ (Or whatever version number they decide to pick)

But in the meantime while Cordova 5.0.0 is latest, you can do this:

$HOME={current directory} cordova platform add android
