Unable to build android version in new project

I keep receiving the following error:

This is with a brand new project, on a new linux install.
Ionic version: 4.0.1
Android Cordova version: 7.0.0
Gradle version: 4.9
Java version: 1.8.0_181

Does anyone have an idea why building doesn’t work? I’ve tried a lot of different things, like adding google() to the build.gradle files, but without success

Your Cordova tooling seems to be out of date, which might be causing all kinds of problems.
You can read about how to figure out the current Cordova versions and how to update CLI, platforms and plugins here: https://ionic.zone/cordova/update
