Mobilefirst 8 Cordova plugin android build fail

Question

We create a simple cordova project

add these plugins:

execute cli : cordova build android

Total time: 3.451 secs Error: /Users/DannyYang/Desktop/testCordova/test/platforms/android/gradlew: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output: Failed to notify

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• Where: Build file '/Users/DannyYang/Desktop/testCordova/test/platforms/android/build.gradle' line: 92

• What went wrong: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'android'.

  Could not resolve all dependencies for configuration 'classpath'. Could not find com.google.android.gms:strict-version-matcher-plugin:1.1.0. Searched in the following locations: https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/google/android/gms/strict-version-matcher-plugin/1.1.0/strict-version-matcher-plugin-1.1.0.pom https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/google/android/gms/strict-version-matcher-plugin/1.1.0/strict-version-matcher-plugin-1.1.0.jar file:/Users/DannyYang/.m2/repository/com/google/android/gms/strict-version-matcher-plugin/1.1.0/strict-version-matcher-plugin-1.1.0.pom file:/Users/DannyYang/.m2/repository/com/google/android/gms/strict-version-matcher-plugin/1.1.0/strict-version-matcher-plugin-1.1.0.jar Required by: unspecified:unspecified:unspecified > com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0

We check the offical doc (link)

cordova-ios: >= 4.1.1 and < 5.0

cordova-android: >= 6.1.2 and <= 8.0

Apache Cordova CLI(>=6.x and <9.0)

Our environment is in compliance with the prerequisites

But why did it fail to build?

Answer 1

I solve this problem of cordova-plugin-mfp-push plugin build failed, just modify build.gradle

1. replace maven url to google()
2. dont use '+' by dependencies libs
