StreetView is not ready to use.
By the way, your error says the Google Play Services SDK you installed is too old.

[Dasone]

Right, I tried to update to later Google Play Services version to 12.1.0 (tried 11.8.0 before) but runs into another problem with com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging which only goes to version 12.0.1 but requires the same version as gms.

How do I compile my project without using StreetView?

[wf9a5m75]

As far as the official release note page, there is no 12.1.0.

You just use the master branch.

That's strange.. https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps/tree/multiple_maps says to use PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION="12.1.0". But I guess you're right. I used the master branch before but had problem with markers that wasn't clickable. So I followed this issue https://github.com/mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps/issues/1809 where they said to use multiple_maps branch to solve it (I guess). But that's a different issue than this.

I'll try to solve the conflict before giving up on multiple_maps branch.

ping

[Dasone]

You can close this issue. I'll try to find a way to get markers clickable in other threads.

ok

same problem

[setu1421]

I am getting the same error. I have below configuration in package.json:

"cordova-plugin-googlemaps": "^2.4.6",
"@ionic-native/google-maps": "^4.9.1"

And in project.properties:

target=android-26
android.library.reference.1=CordovaLib
cordova.system.library.1=com.facebook.android:facebook-android-sdk:4.+
cordova.system.library.2=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.+
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.+
cordova.gradle.include.1=twitter-connect-plugin/offershare-twitter.gradle
cordova.system.library.4=com.android.support:support-v4:24.1.1+
cordova.system.library.5=com.squareup.okhttp3:okhttp:3.+
cordova.gradle.include.2=cordova-plugin-googlemaps/offershare-tbxml-android.gradle
cordova.system.library.6=com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.+
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.+
cordova.system.library.8=com.android.support:support-core-utils:26.1.0

How to avoid this build error?

[wf9a5m75]

cordova.system.library.6=com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.+
cordova.system.library.7=com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.+

Use the latest versions

[setu1421]

You meant to use the latest versions of play service instead of 11.+?
