Documentation issue

Hello,
I do not understand how this plugin works since I'm unable to see it work.
When does this changes the versions? only during installations? Do I need to remove/add every time I want to set variables?
Thank you!

Bug report

Current behavior:

Last version of this plugin is not honoring --variable PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION. Builds are using default 15.+ version.

See final paragraph of steps to reproduce.

Expected behavior:

PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION variable should be honored.

Steps to reproduce:

I have added this plugin with this command:
ionic cordova plugin add cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release --variable PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION=11+.
I can see the variable saved in config.xml. But when building the app I can see this log

cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release.after-prepare: Wrote custom version '11+' to ......../platforms/android/build.gradle
cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release.before-prepare: Wrote custom version '11+' to ....../platforms/android/cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release/properties.gradle
Android Studio project detected

cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release.after-prepare: Wrote custom version '11+' to ...../platforms/android/build.gradle
Preparing Firebase on Android

Configuration 'compile' in project ':app' is deprecated. Use 'implementation' instead.
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
| cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release: 15.+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------

If I check those files I can see that script has indeed wrote custom version correctly, but the build is still using 15.+ (default).

The build properly uses this custom version if I open the gradle script and write
def PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION = "11.+"

Environment information

cli packages: 

    @ionic/cli-utils  : 1.19.2
    ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.20.0

global packages:

    cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.0.0

local packages:

    @ionic/app-scripts : 3.1.9
    Cordova Platforms  : android 7.1.0
    Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.8.0

System:

    Android SDK Tools : 26.1.1
    Node              : v6.14.1
    npm               : 3.10.10
    OS                : Linux 4.13

cordova@9 no longer writes plugin config to config.xml by default so this plugin needs updating to read plugin info from package.json.

Bug report

Current behavior:

• PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION not honored when building project with cordova 8.1.2 and cordova android 6.4.0
• in the build process it is still trying to install the version mentioned in the plugin or latest version of that
  e.g.: cordova-plugin-request-location-accuracy want to install version 15.0.1 and I overwrite this with your plugin to '15.0.0'. But cordova build will still trying to fetch the original version see this error message:

> Could not find play-services-basement.aar (com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement:15.0.1).
  Searched in the following locations:
      https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/google/android/gms/play-services-basement/15.0.1/play-services-basement-15.0.1.aar

• btw.: all other combinations: cordova 6.5.0 + cordova-android 6.4.0 and cordova 8.x + cordova-android 7.x work like expected

Expected behavior:

• cordova buildshould install the version specified by the variable PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION

Steps to reproduce:

• install cordova 8.1.2 or 8.0.0
• create a new project
• go to directory of the new project
• install a plugin that requires play services e.g.: cordova-plugin-request-location-accuracy
• install your plugin with variable PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION setted
• add cordova android platform with version 6.4.0
• run cordova build

Current behavior:

I recently added cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release to a project containing cordova-android-support-gradle-release (due to play service 12.0 issue, came here through this SO answer).

When I run cordova build android, I get following error :

build.gradle file is looking like :

I suspect there are some conflict between plugins collaborating to build.gradle (see my cordova plugins list below)

Expected behavior:

No build.gradle code generation resulting into compilation errors

Hi, I'm the author of a few cordova and react-native plugins. I've been struggling with the best way to solve play-services dependences myself for years.

While reading Gradle Dependency Resolution, I found myself here.

I've tweaked your script a bit:

I'm not sure what this does, I've left it out of my script.

// This will be important for google APIs 11.2.*, since they're now hosted at Maven
repositories{    
  maven {
    url 'https://maven.google.com'
  }
}

////
// Enter your desired google API version for all dependencies
// Would be nice to somehow make this configurable via <preference /> in plugin.xml
// Would require a <hook /> script to edit this file.
//
def GOOGLE_API_VERSION = '11.2.0';

////
// List of play-services libs to search for.
// Here's a list of all Google APIs:  https://developers.google.com/android/reference/packages
def GOOGLE_APIS = [
    'com.google.android.gms',
    'com.google.firebase'
]

configurations.all {
    resolutionStrategy.eachDependency { DependencyResolveDetails details ->
        if (details.requested.group in GOOGLE_APIS) {            
            details.useVersion GOOGLE_API_VERSION
        }
    }
}

Until yesterday it was working fine. today it download new packages and then failed.

/platforms/android/gradlew: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':packageDebug'.

Please help. Thanks.

If i don't have any plugin which needs to be configured in the config.xml, cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release produces an error

Error: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined

Please have a look at scripts/before-prepare.js#15 of the current release version where plugins also can be undefined.

thx

What do I add at the bottom of build.gradle by recommendation of this plugin like below?

google-services plugin could not detect any version for com.google.android.gms or com.google.firebase, default version: 9.0.0 will be used.

please apply google-services plugin at the bottom of the build file.

Feature request

Hello @dpa99c , first of all, I want to congratulate you on your excellent work doing this amazing plugin. That's why my first recommendation is the option of being able to give a beer.

The current problem is that very often we find the error of play-services-X is being requested by several other libraries at [[15.x1,15.x2]], but resolves to 15.x3. Still using your plugin and put 15. + to be synchronized with the version of the other plugins continues to be this fearsome error.

When you are the creator of this excellent plugin it is noted that you are the expert in the theme of configuring and aligning the versions of google play services in a single one and thus avoid this annoying problem.

That's why I think you're the only one who could help everyone with a guide or how to set the version of each google android.gms: play-services-X that the user needs that we can establish each version for each subpart of google android.gms: play-services and align it with the other versions of the other plugins that we have installed in our application.

For example to be able to put these or other version variables:

com.google.android.gms: play-services-auth: 16.0.1
com.google.android.gms: play-services-base: 16.1.0
com.google.android.gms: play-services-identity: 16.0.0
com.google.android.gms: play-services-analytics: 16.0.8

the same for your firebase plugin, to be able to set the version:
com.google.firebase: firebase-analytics: 16.5.0
com.google.firebase: firebase-crash: 16.2.1

It should be noted that I already tried 2 things, using the 16. + the same error of play-services still appears-X is being requested by several other libraries at [[15.x1,15.x2]], but resolves to 15.x3.
Also, I already try to set a specific version in --variable PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION = 15.x2 tells me that it does not find the other elements in that version 15.x2.

Please help us with that big headache, you're the expert on the subject.

I'm trying to align version to build a corova app using cordova-plugin-fcm and cordova-plugin-health

Hi Dave, thanks for trying to fix this issue. Unfortunately when using your plugin I'm still facing the dreaded dependency hell. Here's the stack trace I get when doing cordova build android:

Found com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.6.0, but version 11.6.2 is needed for the google-services plugin.
:processReleaseGoogleServices FAILED

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:
  Execution failed for task ':processReleaseGoogleServices'.

Please fix the version conflict either by updating the version of the google-services plugin (information about the latest version is available at https://bintray.com/android/android-tools/com.google.gms.google-services/) or updating the version of com.google.android.gms to 11.6.2.

Here's my plugins:

Bug report

Current behavior:

When I run ionic cordova platform add [email protected], the plugin is installing with android version 7 instead, with the following error:

npm install of external dependencies ok
cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release: Android platform: cordova-android@7
cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release: ERROR: EXCEPTION: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'W:\app\platforms\android\app\build.gradle'
cordova-android-support-gradle-release: Android platform: cordova-android@7
cordova-android-support-gradle-release: ERROR: EXCEPTION: Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, open 'W:\app\platforms\android\app\build.gradle'
--save flag or autosave detected
Saving android@~6.4.0 into config.xml file ...

I suspected this is because of the function getCordovaAndroidVersion is assuming android version 7 based on the existence of the path platforms/android/app/src. The folder might be created by another plugin I have installed. I'm not sure if this is the standard to version detect as i'm not well versed with Cordova ecosystem, but I'd like to think that there should be a better failsafe way to determine the version. If you have any pointers I would love to make a PR.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Install the plugins I used
2. Add android platform 6.4.0 ionic cordova platform add [email protected]
