 **Missing Android SDK Versions:** If you already had the Android SDK installed, you may also need to update and install the SDK for Android 4.4.2 (API level 19), Android 5.0.1 (API Level 21), or Android 5.1.1 (API Level 22) . You may need to restart Visual Studio if it is open while updating the Android SDK through the SDK Manager to be able to build for Android after the update is complete. See [Manually Installing Dependencies](https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn757054.aspx#ThirdParty) for details.

 **Slow first build or first plugin add:** The first build or plugin add for a given version of Cordova will be slower than subsequent builds as VS must first dynamically acquire Cordova. See the Output Window for more detail on progress. Further, the first remote iOS build will exhibit the same behavior as the agent downloads Cordova on your OSX machine. If you encounter a CordovaModuleLoadError with the first iOS build for a given Cordova version you can follow [these instructions](../tips-and-workarounds/ios/README.md#npm-cache) to resolve the problem.
