I can no loger successfully build my ionic project and get the following error after running ionic cordova build android:

And as soon as I remove the plugin:

ionic cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-googlemaps

Everything gets back to normal and builds successfully. How can I get rid of this error?

2

Are you aware that the install command for that plugin is different in the documentation?

3

I have same problem for oneSignal plugin

Yes, even if I install with the following command I get the same build error:

ionic cordova plugin add GitHub - mapsplugin/cordova-plugin-googlemaps: Google Maps plugin for Cordova --variable API_KEY_FOR_ANDROID=“my-google-api-key”
