Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.google.gms.google-services'] when used together with nativescript-google-analytics

[ignaciolarranaga]

Hi I noticed both plugins generate some conflict when used together, and not sure which one is the best to log the issue or the most appropriate to make and adjustment/suggestion ?

Sorry for the inconvenience if the problem is related to the google-analytics plugin.

The problem as the title says is the version of google-services.
For reproduction:

tns create Sample --ng
cd Sample
tns plugin add nativescript-google-analytics
tns plugin add nativescript-push-notifications
cp ...../google-services.json app/App_Resources/Android/
tns run android

and you will get:

What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'Sample'.
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'com.google.gms.google-services']
   > For input string: "+"

Here is the complete trace:

Runs your project on a connected Android device or in a native Android emulator, if configured. This is shorthand for prepare, build and deploy. While your app is running, prints the output from the application in the console and watches for changes in your code. Once a change is detected, it synchronizes the change with all selected devices and restarts/refreshes the application.

### Options

    * --no-watch - If set, changes in your code will not be reflected during the execution of this command.
    * --device - Specifies a connected device/emulator on which to run the app.
    * --emulator - If set, runs the app in a native emulator for the target platform, if configured. When set, you can also set any other valid combination of emulator options as listed by $ tns help emulate android.
    * --release - If set, produces a release build. Otherwise, produces a debug build. When set, you must also specify the --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-path - Specifies the file path to the keystore file (P12) which you want to use to code sign your APK. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-password - Provides the password for the keystore file specified with --key-store-path. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-alias - Provides the alias for the keystore file specified with --key-store-path. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --key-store-alias-password - Provides the password for the alias specified with --key-store-alias-password. You can use the --key-store-* options along with --release to produce a signed release build. You need to specify all --key-store-* options.
    * --justlaunch - If set, does not print the application output in the console.
    * --clean - If set, forces rebuilding the native application.

### Attributes

    * <Device ID> is the index or name of the target device as listed by $ tns device android
    * <Emulator Options> is any valid combination of options as listed by $ tns help emulate android

I think the problem might be related to this, but just guessing:

Link to the google analytics plugin issue also reported: sitefinitysteve/nativescript-google-analytics#29

[ignaciolarranaga]

Closed in favor of sitefinitysteve/nativescript-google-analytics#29
The issue seems more related to their build process.

[ignaciolarranaga]

As per sitefinitysteve/nativescript-google-analytics#29 is something to correct on your side guys.

[Daxito]

Isn't this related to EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-plugin-firebase#163 ?

[ignaciolarranaga]

I guess so @Daxito, so by removing the sections mentioned on #80 and #105 and adding:

android {  
  // other stuff here

  project.ext {
    googlePlayServicesVersion = "10.0.+"
  }
}

as mentioned here https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-plugin-firebase#includegradle-failed-to-apply-plugin--for-input-string- should work correctly right ?
Thanks for the help by the way!!

[Daxito]

Yes! Give it a try! I don't have any other Google Play Services (like google maps), just the PushNotifications stuff.

I had the same problem, but in my case there was another plugin with dependencies:
[..]compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:+'

Just replaced + with 11.0.1 and everything was fine

Btw. exec android: ../tools/bin/sdkmanger --update for the latest
