Google added more instruction how to solve it: Resolve build errors related to dependency matching

Cause of build error:

Your app includes a build type that a library dependency does not.

For example, your app includes a "staging" build type, but a dependency includes only a "debug" and "release" build type.

Note that there is no issue when a library dependency includes a build type that your app does not. That's because the plugin simply never requests that build type from the dependency.

Resolution

Use matchingFallbacks to specify alternative matches for a given build type, as shown below:

// In the app's build.gradle file.
android {
    buildTypes {
        debug {}
        release {}
        staging {
            // Specifies a sorted list of fallback build types that the
            // plugin should try to use when a dependency does not include a
            // "staging" build type. You may specify as many fallbacks as you
            // like, and the plugin selects the first build type that's
            // available in the dependency.
            matchingFallbacks = ['debug', 'qa', 'release']
        }
    }
}
