I\'m using this with ionic 2 on Windows for Android. When I add cordova-plugin-fcm plugin, I cannot build the project anymore. Here is the error that I\'m getting:

Answer 1

I came across this thread, in case this is helpful to anyone, here are the set of files and changes I made so that my android client would build fine. I was having a conflict with cordova-plugin-fcm and cordova-plugin-googleplus. Here is a

platforms/android/build.gradle

dependencies {
   classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'
   // I added this:
   classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0'
}

..

allprojects {
  repositories {
   // changed the + to 10.2.0 
   compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:10.2.0"
   compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:10.2.0"
  }
}

// at end of the promptForReleaseKeyPassword function, add this:

def promptForReleaseKeyPassword() {
  ...
  apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
}

android/project.properties (Changed + to 10.2.0)

cordova.system.library.3=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:10.2.0
cordova.system.library.4=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:10.2.0

cordova-plugin-fcm/mobile-FCMPlugin.gradle (this file was a tricky one)

dependencies {
  classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+'
  classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.1.0'
}

...

// apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' moved into this postBuildExtras function.
// class must be used instead of id(string) to be able to apply plugin from non-root gradle file
ext.postBuildExtras = {
      apply plugin: com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin
}
