@dpa99c Hi Dave, In the last firebase release with help of your documentation i was able to fix the issue. Could you please guide me in this case as well.
Thanks in advance

Looks like you have another plugin in your project which is adding com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging@19.+
This is colliding with the pinned version added by this plugin: com.google.firebase:[email protected]

While this plugin allows you to use plugin variables to override the default specified versions, e.g. --variable ANDROID_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_VERSION=19.+, in this that won't help as 19.+ will pull in a version incompatible with com.google.firebase:[email protected] which is also being pulled in by another plugin in your project.

You need to track down which plugins in your project are adding these additional Gradle dependencies. If they support using plugin variables to specify custom versions, use these to align the versions with those specified by this plugin. If they don't, raise an issue against that plugin to add support; you'll then need to fork the plugin to change the version manually in that plugin's plugin.xml.

Closing as this issue is not caused by this plugin but by conflicts with other plugins and therefore there are no changes that could be made to this plugin to resolve this.

Hi! I had the same problem and reinstalled firebaseX setting the most recent firebase-messaging-version (firebase android release notes)
$ cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebasex --variable ANDROID_FIREBASE_MESSAGING_VERSION=20.1.0

For my case it worked, subscribe and receive push

Hello everyone, if you have installed cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebase-lib remove it first.
As a complement to @ danconte72 also add an additional plugin:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-enable-multidex

This worked for me.
