Gradle is getting stuck after build

Try using: https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/master/gradlew.bat

Windows KB4033989 is the root cause of this issue: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4033989/description-of-preview-of-quality-rollup-for-the-net-framework-4-6-4-6

It appears the root cause of Gradle getting stuck is a combination of two factors:

1. When installing Gradle with Chocolatey a shim (proxy .exe put into bin folder) for gradle.bat is being generated by Chocolatey and then used as gradle command in the build.
2. Gradle daemon is starting during the build (default Gradle behavior) and hanging there as a child process.

Gradle build spawns child process for daemon and this prevents AppVeyor flow from going further, most probably because of some shim implementation nuances (we'll let Chocolatey team know about that).

To fix the issue and make Gradle work with the current AppVeyor image you have two options:

1. Use "original" gradle.bat, not Chocolatey shim. Add this to the build (before gradle command) - link:

   set path=C:\ProgramData\chocolatey\lib\gradle\tools\gradle-3.4.1\bin;%path%

2. disable Gradle daemon in gradle.properties file: https://github.com/FeodorFitsner/cordova-android/blob/master/test/gradle.properties#L19 - without daemon running the build works with or without Chocolatey shim.

Sorry for the long time I was away from the gradle's chocolatey package. Very very busy at work.
I'll look into changing the gradle's installation script in the Chocolatey package.
