Android-Cordova 10.0.1 Task :app:processDebugGoogleServices FAILED

Question

I have upgraded the cordova-android version from 9.0 to 10.0.1 and facing the below issues while building the Cordova app using - ionic cordova build android

Errors:

Task :app:processDebugGoogleServices FAILED
Some problems were found with the configuration of task ':app:processDebugGoogleServices' (type 'GoogleServicesTask').
  - In plugin 'com.google.gms.google-services' type 'com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesTask' field 'intermediateDir' without corresponding getter has been annotated with @OutputDirectory.

    Reason: Annotations on fields are only used if there's a corresponding getter for the field.

    Possible solutions:
      1. Add a getter for field 'intermediateDir'.
      2. Remove the annotations on 'intermediateDir'.

    Please refer to https://docs.gradle.org/7.1.1/userguide/validation_problems.html#ignored_annotations_on_field for more details about this problem.    
  - In plugin 'com.google.gms.google-services' type 'com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesTask' field 'packageNameXOR1' without corresponding getter has been annotated with @Input.

Answer 1

I have resolved this by using adding the below preferences in config.xml file:

<preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="30" />
<preference name="AndroidXEnabled" value="true" />
<preference name="GradlePluginGoogleServicesEnabled" value="true" />
 
 <!-- Updated the version of com.google.gms.google-services -->
<preference name="GradlePluginGoogleServicesVersion" value="4.3.8" /> ,

Package.json:

"cordova-android": "^10.1.0"

Gradle version: 7.1.1

Can you send me the plugin versions you are using? So, I can upgrade those and check it – Thebault

Answers are updated with plugins currently used. Have you tried using gradle 6.7.1? – Yoko

Whitelist plugin is deprecated for cordova android 10. and it is not supported. How were you able to build using version 10? npmjs.com/package/cordova-plugin-whitelist – Thebault

Answer 3

In my case none of the provided answers were helpful. Take a look here fix-google-services for other solution in config, maybe for somebody it will help.

I have 9.1.0 version of 'cordova-android' which is not supporting Android API 30+ Android API Levels and Android Versions

How I fixed the issue OR how I hack the solution: Run:

1. cordova platform rm android
2. cordova platform add android

This should generate a "build.gradle" file in platforms\android Then, manually change "project.ext" part of code and specify version which you want, in my case I need to support 30 API version:

project.ext {
  defaultBuildToolsVersion="30.0.0" //String
  defaultMinSdkVersion=23 //Integer - Minimum requirement is Android 5.1
  defaultTargetSdkVersion=30 //Integer - We ALWAYS target the latest by default
  defaultCompileSdkVersion=30 //Integer - We ALWAYS compile with the latest by default
}

You can modify sh script proposed by @Mike (in 1 link) for this needs.

Btw, when i was trying to fix the issue on cordova-android version 10 - this block of code was even not presented in "build.gradle".

What protentionally could help too:

1. Remove cordova-plugin-whitelist - it is not supported from version 10.
2. In SDK Platforms manager - download needed API Level;
3. In SDK Tools manager - download needed build tools version;

We should not change the file manually in "platforms\android" which are auto generated. – Thebault

@Thebault yes, I agree also mentioned that it is a hack, because no other solutions didn`t work for me. – Typist
