solved by removing the background-golocation and re-add it again

What platform are you using? I am still getting this error.

I removed the plugin and added it again, but getting this error

* Where:
Build file 'D:\Dokumenter\GitHub\Geme\platforms\android\build.gradle' line: 266

solution:
goto =>project folder\platforms\android\project.properties
edit and change PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION to 9.2.1.
like bellow:
cordova.system.library.1=com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:9.2.1

cordova.system.library.2=com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:9.2.1

thanks you this was my solution to

dvhung95 · March 12, 2018, 2:43pm

In \platforms\android\project.properties, replace PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION by “+” only
com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:+
com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:+

kirangajbhiye11 · March 15, 2018, 9:40am

I also have same problem but when I edit PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION to
cordova.system.library.1=com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:9.2.1

cordova.system.library.2=com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads:9.2.1
it give another error at the time of build application

9.2.1 is too old for the maps plugin. The maps plugin requires 11.8.0 at least. You need to specifies other libraries also.

ciarangallagher036 · April 7, 2018, 4:08pm

Why do we have to specify a particular version of the plugin? How come this isn’t set automatically already?

YousefRabieKhalil · April 8, 2018, 9:12am

each version of the plugin require a different version of google play service so , you have two options
1- downgrade to version that match with your google play service
2- using the latest plugin version and update your google play service

when you install the plugin you specify the version of the plugin based on your google play service
