> `cordova platform check` basically tries to create a new project with the same platforms as in your current project. It doesn't complain about projects for which it can't get a version - the original thinking was:

> The problem is that if you try to add android, it will often fail because one or both of "android" or "ant" will be missing from your path. Since check can't install android, it can't get its version and thus can't determine it isn't current. 
> We should add some logic so that it can report that it can't determine instead of making the admittedly stronger claim of "up-to-date".
