The platform "android" does not appear to be a valid cordova platform

[CptToucan]

Been having some issues getting corber start to work. I've followed the live reload guide for Android builds. I am running Ubuntu 18.04 and I am running into this issue when I run corber start:

I also see it when I run corber build and corber serve commands.

Any help would be very appreciated as I'm very new to the whole Cordova/Android development thing.

I am seeing a similar issue with corber init when choosing ios:

? Which platforms should we init with? ios

Thanks - just working on a fix to this.

This should be fixed as of 1.4.0.

For those curious, in a lot of cases our old cordova template (https://github.com/isleofcode/ember-cordova-template) was causing issues - especially since the cordova switch to npm. Effectively cordova-ios versions were not being set correctly - which could cause older versions to be pulled down.

I've since deprecated that template as we don't need it so much anymore. Historically it was used to prevent unused cordova assets being installed and today the core cordova project appears to manage that internally.

@alexblom Thanks for fixing! Just incase it was an accident, it doesn't look like the 1.4.0 release was published to npm. I've installed from master for now 😄 Thanks again!
