android: Build error: gradlew.bat failed with exit code 1

Hi, After a few months of doing other projects and enjoying the summer I decided to get back to work on my Nativescript project. Reading the documentation, I decided to update to version 2.2.1. Armed with the update manual I followed the instuctions. But when building my project for the first time I noticed a build error: <path-to-my-project>/gradlew.bat failed with exit code 1

Reading similar issues on stackoverflow.com and here I tried several options to resolve the issue, but no luck so far. Things I tried:

• Instructions on Android plugins and Windows path size issues
• Removing and adding the android platform (tns platform remove android, tns platform add android)
• Removing the node_modules folder
• Updating the Andoid SDK
• gradlew clean in folder /platforms/android

Nothing helped. Anyone for a good hint?

Version numbers: tns: 2.2.1 Cross-platform modules: 2.2.1 Package.json of project:

{
  "nativescript": {
    "id": "nl.progig.handsonlifesupport",
    "tns-android": {
      "version": "2.2.0"
    }
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "dateformat": "^1.0.12",
    "intl": "^1.1.0",

  },

    "babel-types": "6.14.0",
    "babylon": "6.9.1",

  }
}
