An error occurred while listing Android targets
android, ant, cordova, ios
Solution
You can't add the iOs platform on Windows 8 (Check the available commands on the link):
"Your ability to run these commands depends on whether your machine supports each SDK, and whether you have already installed each SDK." source: http://cordova.apache.org/docs/en/3.4.0//guide_cli_index.md.html#The%20Command-Line%20Interface
Android is strange though.. Can you provide any more details? (are all the environment variables set correctly? did you add JAVA_HOME?..)
Hopefully I'll be more of a help with some more info :)
Problem
I am getting this same error while trying to `add platform Android` to simple HelloWorld application created using `CLI Cordova` on Windows 8. Path vaiables has been set for %ANT%,%ANT_HOME%,%ANDROID_HOME% PATH Also contains %ANDROID_HOME%\platform-tools and %ANDROID_HOME%\tools in the listings. ``` PS E:\Android Projects\HelloWorld> cordova platforms add android Creating android project...

The path variable pointing to this android was wrong. I had used %ANDROID_HOME% as variable and scaled the same to path variables %ANDROID_HOME%\SDK\TOOLS. This method doesn't work. Experimentally resolved by directly pointing to the Tools and Platform Tools.
