Answer 1

My project is a cordova ionic1 project, I spent a full night and morning to solve this issue, this is what I did beacuse i was having firebase dependencies and google services: Go to this file : platforms\android\cordova-plugin-firebase\cordova-plugin-firebase\app-build.gradle

buildscript {
    repositories {
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        // classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'
        // i changed the above line from 3.0.0 to 3.1.1
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.1'
    }
}
repositories {
    mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
    compile 'me.leolin:ShortcutBadger:1.1.4@aar'
    //compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:+'
    // i changed the above line from + to 11.0.2
    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:11.0.2'
}

Then Go to this file: platforms\android\project.properties Originally i was having this

target=android-26
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
cordova.gradle.include.1=cordova-plugin-firebase/app-build.gradle
cordova.system.library.1=com.google.gms:google-services:+
cordova.system.library.2=com.google.firebase:firebase-core:+
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:+
cordova.system.library.4=com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:+
cordova.system.library.5=com.google.firebase:firebase-config:+
cordova.system.library.6=com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.+
cordova.system.library.8=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.+

Then i commented out the google services as we need specific dependencies and I also put the versions for firebase and gms to the same version number of 11.0.2 so after my file looks like this

target=android-26
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
cordova.gradle.include.1=cordova-plugin-firebase/app-build.gradle
# cordova.system.library.1=com.google.gms:google-services:+
cordova.system.library.2=com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.4=com.google.firebase:firebase-crash:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.5=com.google.firebase:firebase-config:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.6=com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.0.2
cordova.system.library.8=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.0.2
