FAQ

#### Build Error: Failed to apply plugin [class 'com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin']
It looks like you have another dependency on a google play services lib with a generic verison *. You have to fix ALL dependency version(s) to be more more specific like 11.0.+. In order to do that fix version strings for any play services library you have in platforms/android/project.properties.

#### Build Error: Could not generate a proxy class for class com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesTask.
Open platform/android/build.gradle and change version of the first com.android.tools.build:gradle:

classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:1.2.3+'

#### Duplicate resources: .../platforms/android/build/generated/res/google-services/armv7/debug/values/values.xml:string/google_api_key, .../platforms/android/res/values/strings.xml:string/google_api_key
Remove google_api_key and google_app_id from any existing xml file from platform/android/res/ folder. Those values now come from an automatically generated values.xml`.
