Install Plugins

npm i cordova-android-firebase-gradle-release
npm i cordova-android-support-gradle-release

In package.json under plugins, you should have this:

  "cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release": {
    "PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION": "+"
  },
  "cordova-android-firebase-gradle-release": {
    "FIREBASE_VERSION": "+"
  }

In config.xml, you should have these:

<plugin name="cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release" spec="^2.0.0">
    <variable name="PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION" value="+" />
</plugin>
<plugin name="cordova-android-firebase-gradle-release" spec="^2.0.0">
    <variable name="FIREBASE_VERSION" value="+" />
</plugin>

After all the steps, I am getting this error

Execution failed for task ‘:app:transformDexArchiveWithDexMergerForDebug’.

Only solution worked for me also. I wonder about when we can use original one back. :confused:
