Answer 1

1. Go to project.properties (in your platform folder)

2. I was using just google analytics in my "project.properties" and had to add " 11.+" to the end of the version and that worked for me. Not sure if that's long term fix but it did the trick.

cordova.system.library.2=com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:11.+

Answer 2

Things i had to do to get the build to succeed on my Ionic3 App:

• Add Plugin cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release
• Remove and re-add the android platform
• 11.+ in platform/android/project.properties file for libraries ( Especially if you're using firebase )
• 11.+ for dependencies in platforms/android/cordova-plugin-firebase/-build.gradle
• The above changes in platforms/android/build.gradle

This might be the worst possible way to get things work, but kinda saved my life. Hope this helps someone!

Answer 3

It works for me.

node_modules/react-native-camera/android/build.gradle:
dependencies {
    compile 'com.facebook.react:react-native:+'
    compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:11.8.0' // update by me on 
    20180321
}
