and this:

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
// SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES START
debugCompile(project(path: "CordovaLib", configuration: "debug"))
releaseCompile(project(path: "CordovaLib", configuration: "release"))

compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:+"
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:+"
compile "com.android.support:support-v4:26.+"
compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+"
// SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES END

}

Answer 1

It's a mess with Cordova plugins not specifying dependencies properly in their gradle build files (using different exact versions instead of +).

I'm using this another plugin cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release which somehow fixes the issue for me (ya...irony it works :D).

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release
ionic cordova platform add android 
ionic cordova platform remove android

Above commands will add this plugin, after which you need to re-add android platform.

Edit (other solution):

You can instead try editing the project.properties file with the latest or compatible version (11.+) if the above solution doesn't work

target=android-26
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
cordova.system.library.1=com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23+
cordova.gradle.include.1=com.synconset.imagepicker/myapp-ignorelinterrors.gradle
cordova.gradle.include.2=com.synconset.imagepicker/myapp-androidtarget.gradle
cordova.system.library.2=com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.+
cordova.system.library.4=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.+
cordova.system.library.5=com.google.firebase:firebase-core:11.+
cordova.system.library.6=com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.+
cordova.gradle.include.3=cordova-plugin-fcm/myapp-FCMPlugin.gradle

Answer 2

i too had this problem , after long research i found out the solution

open the file platform/android/project.properties and check the code

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

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

it's working fine ,thanks you
