Could not find org.jetbrains.kotlin:ko         


        

Answer 1

EDIT 10/28/19:

cordova-support-google-services was updated today to version 1.3.2 which changes the classpath from classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+'

to

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.+'

which seems to fix the kotlin error

Original Answer

I got mine to build successfully by doing the following:

I edited platforms->android->cordova-support-google-services->myAppName-build.gradle

and changed

maventCentral()

to

    maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
    maven { url 'https://dl.bintray.com/kotlin/kotlin-eap' }

That solved the kotlin error then I was getting a different error that I resolved by changing

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'

to

classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.1.0'

It then built successfully.
