Android build failed (library being requested by various other libraries)

Hi !

My app was building fine until earlier this month without any change from my side.
I got new error :

What went wrong:
The library com.google.android.gms:play-services-base is being requested by various other libraries at 
[[15.0.1,15.0.1]], but resolves to 16.0.1. Disable the plugin and check your dependencies tree using ./gradlew 
:app:dependencies.
my ./gradlew :app:dependencies (error)

I’ve seen on stackoverflow issues from native app, who solved the problem by editing gradle. Since on ionic the gradle file is generated by cordova i tried to editing with a hook but no succes so far.

I’ve also tried to add cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release but doesn’t work either.

Any suggestion to solve this problem ? Someone else already had this ?
Need more informations ? (Like my gradle, project.properties or something else …)
Thank !

Hi !
No idea ? No one ? Don’t hesitate to ask if you need more details on the issue.

Thank !

Hi !
It is suggested to use + instead of 15.+ to ensure the correct versions are used for cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release or cordova-android-firebase-gradle-release.

Thank’s @georgel2489 for your response but i no longer have this issue. I started a blank new project and then adding the plugins with the exact same configurations(plugins version, config.xml, package.json …), the problem disappeared …

thanks for these tips
