Failed to install 'cordova-plugin-firebase': CordovaError: Uh oh

I had follow these steps to install an configure firebase to my cordova project for cloud messaging. https://medium.com/@felipepucinelli/how-to-add-push-notifications-in-your-cordova-application-using-firebase-69fac067e821

I have the google-services.json file and added into root path of my project. To install cordova-plugin-firebase, I tried to paste :

<plugin name="cordova-plugin-firebase" spec="^2.0.0" />

into config.xml and run cordova platform add [email protected] .

Output :

Error during processing of action! Attempting to revert...

according to issue #25 ...

in your config.xml first install cordova-plugin-firebase then cordova-plugin-push-notification or phonegap-plugin-push. make sure to first remove both plugins from plugins folder after removing platform.

this is because these two plugins clash, because both attempt to install that file.
