   # Bug Report
   
   ## Problem
   when running `$ cordova platform add android` I get the error:
   ```
   Using cordova-fetch for cordova-android@^8.0.0
   Failed to fetch platform cordova-android@^8.0.0
   Probably this is either a connection problem, or platform spec is incorrect.
   Check your connection and platform name/version/URL.
   Error: npm: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:
   npm ERR! Cannot read property 'match' of undefined
   
   npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
   npm ERR!     /Users/c.francia/.npm/_logs/2019-10-01T08_10_12_545Z-debug.log
   ```
   I use yarn and not npm. I know that npm is a dependency of yarn, not sure if this matters or not.
   
   Also I know there have been issues on github regarding this (but that person was having dependency issues) and there was one on SO [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35451207/cordova-error-failed-to-fetch-platform-android/35743471#35743471) but the issue was a version problem, not `npm ERR! Cannot read property 'match' of undefined`
   
   ### What is expected to happen?
   to add the platform @^8.0.0
   
   
   ### What does actually happen?
   gives the error error mentioned above
