What is the exact command you are running? Just ionic cordova build? Try adding --verbose after it for more output. If this doesn't help, try running the cordova command directly and see what it does.

Hello all! I just moved this issue to the cli repo as this is an issue related to the cli and not the framework. Thanks!
