Can you specify that please? Are you using ionic package here to get this error? How do you build “on your server”?

Also include your ionic info output and package.json and config.xml content.

My guess: 2 plugins are trying to do the same thing which doesn’t work. Did this suddenly appear after you added an additional plugin?

Thanks,.It runs fine on my local. I didn’t add new plugin, it’s the first time i build android version with ionic package.

In package.json i imported cordova-plugin-google-analytics 2 times, however after remove it the same error message (Cannot add task ‘:processDebugGoogleServices’) still happens.

Can you please tell me which file I need to check for duplication ?

Thanks again.

I would also check config.xml.

But in general it can be different plugins doing the same thing, quite hard to debug.

I’m able to replicate it on my local. My local used ionic cli 2.0 and don’t have any problem but when I update it to ionic cli 3.6, the issue happens.

Here is the log

Found com.google.android.gms:play-services-analytics:+, but version 9.2.0 is needed for the google-services
plugin.
Found com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:11.+, but version 9.2.0 is needed for the google-services
plugin.
Found com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:11.+, but version 9.2.0 is needed for the google-services
plugin.

I deleted google-analytics and google-maps in config.xml and package.json but after build with
ionic cordova build android , it auto added. Do you know why ?
