I have exactly the same issue and no possible fix.

So for me, I am on a Windows 10 box with a reasonably long project path. This seems to be caused by hitting max path length issues with the gradle build.

To diagnose this I ran:

cls && tns run android --log trace > log.txt

This gave me the gradlew.bat command line that was being executed. I ran it manually:

cls && platforms\android\gradlew.bat "-p" "<projectPath>\platforms\tempPlugin\nativescript_google_maps_sdk" "assembleRelease" "-PcompileSdk=android-27" "-PbuildToolsVersion=27.0.3" "-PsupportVersion=26.0.0-alpha1"

Which gave me:

<projectPath>platforms\tempPlugin\nativescript_google_maps_sdk\build\intermediates\res\merged\release\drawable-xxhdpi-v4\common_google_signin_btn_icon_light_normal_background.9.png: error: file not found. <projectPath>platforms\tempPlugin\nativescript_google_maps_sdk\build\intermediates\res\merged\release\drawable-xxhdpi-v4\common_google_signin_btn_icon_dark_normal_background.9.png: error: file not found. <projectPath>platforms\tempPlugin\nativescript_google_maps_sdk\build\intermediates\res\merged\release\drawable-xhdpi-v4\common_google_signin_btn_text_light_normal_background.9.png: error: file not found. <projectPath>platforms\tempPlugin\nativescript_google_maps_sdk\build\intermediates\res\merged\release\drawable-xxhdpi-v4\common_google_signin_btn_text_light_normal_background.9.png: error: file not found. <projectPath>platforms\tempPlugin\nativescript_google_maps_sdk\build\intermediates\res\merged\release\drawable-xhdpi-v4\common_google_signin_btn_icon_light_normal_background.9.png: error: file not found. <projectPath>platforms\tempPlugin\nativescript_google_maps_sdk\build\intermediates\res\merged\release\drawable-xxhdpi-v4\common_google_signin_btn_text_dark_normal_background.9.png: error: file not found.

Most of these file paths exceeded 240 characters (when you include the full project path).

I created a junction point with mklink to shorten the path to my project and it built successfully.

Hope this helps others.
