You need to use the google play services sdk 11.8.0

[obbe79]

Thanks.
If I run sdkmanager --list I get:

> extras;google;google_play_services | 46 | Google Play services | extras\google\google_play_services\

Is this what I have to check? Or I have to modify the build.gradle file?

[wf9a5m75]

Please show me the build.gradle file

[wf9a5m75]

The build.gradle file should be like this:

dependencies {
    implementation fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: '*.jar')
    // SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES START
    implementation(project(path: "CordovaLib"))
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.8.+"
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.8.+"
    // SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES END
}

and the project.properties file should be like this:

target=android-26
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
cordova.system.library.1=com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.8.+
cordova.system.library.2=com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.8.+

Please confirm both files.

[alex92x]

Same problem here, my build.gradle and project.properties look exactly like that. What can I do?

[wf9a5m75]

Please share your project files on github. I will check it.

[battika]

When I had the same problem it turned out that onesignal plugin is using a custom way of enforcing play services in build.gradle file and it forces version 11.2 in this file:

https://github.com/OneSignal/OneSignal-Cordova-SDK/blob/master/build-extras-onesignal.gradle

Your case might be different just wanted to share my finding.

[wf9a5m75]

ping

[Gachapen]

I encountered the same problem, and like @battika, I use OneSignal. Downgrading cordova-plugin-googlemaps to 2.1.1 solves the problem. Sadly I cannot share my project files, but I'll see if I can create a minimal project that reproduces the issue.

[obbe79]

I will come back to you tomorrow.

[fintecheand0]

I have the same issue when using the google maps plugin version 2.2.2 and OneSignal, I have follow the advice of @Gachapen and now is working

@itzamnamx I don't mind if you downgrade the maps plugin version, but new version has been fixed lots of bugs.

Try [email protected]

[fintecheand0]

Hi Masashi,

I will try right now and let you know asap.

Thank you!

I can confirm the bug in a blank ionic project with only OneSignal and GoogleMaps plugins installed.

cli packages: (C:\Users\Fabs\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules)

@ionic/cli-utils  : 1.19.1
ionic (Ionic CLI) : 3.19.1

global packages:

cordova (Cordova CLI) : 8.0.0

local packages:

@ionic/app-scripts : 3.1.8
Cordova Platforms  : android 7.0.0
Ionic Framework    : ionic-angular 3.9.2

System:

Android SDK Tools : 25.2.5
Node              : v8.9.3
npm               : 5.6.0
OS                : Windows 10

cordova plugins
cordova-plugin-device 2.0.1 "Device"
cordova-plugin-googlemaps 2.2.3 "cordova-plugin-googlemaps"
cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard 2.0.5 "cordova-plugin-ionic-keyboard"
cordova-plugin-ionic-webview 1.1.16 "cordova-plugin-ionic-webview"
cordova-plugin-splashscreen 5.0.2 "Splashscreen"
cordova-plugin-whitelist 1.3.3 "Whitelist"
onesignal-cordova-plugin 2.2.5 "OneSignal Push Notifications"

[battika]

Guys, as a workaround all you need to do is clone the OneSignal-Cordova-SDK plugin and in the build-extras-onesignal.gradle file change the com.google.android.gms and com.google.firebase dependencies like this:

def versionGroupAligns = [
    // ### Google Play Services library
    'com.google.android.gms': [
        'version': '11.8.+'
    ],

    // ### Google Firebase library
    // Although not used by OneSignal Firebase has some dependencies on gms
    // If present, ensuring they are aligned
    'com.google.firebase': [
        'version': '11.8.+'
    ],
...

Then, reinstall the OneSignal plugin from your filesystem.

I know it is not ideal but works for me. Hope OneSignal will use the latest Play Services version in their next release.
I created an issue in their repo:
https://github.com/OneSignal/OneSignal-Cordova-SDK/issues/297

I did not have time to dig deeper how this issue can be resolved in a more elegant way but if you do I'll be more than happy if you let me know.

[wf9a5m75]

Thank you for your help, @battika

[battika]

Anytime 👍

[Creawebs]

@battika Ty, worked like a charm

[obbe79]

So my build.gradle file for some reason has 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-maps:11.0.+"
    compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.0.+"
    // SUB-PROJECT DEPENDENCIES END
}

I will try to change that to 11.8.+ and see if it compiles.

[seme1]

I have the same problem. I'm also using Onesignal with latest version of googlemaps plugin.

[athlona64]

good work @battika

[kodeine]

i am facing the same issue, i tried changing to 11.8.0 but it doesnt help. any work around?

[kapilSoni101]
