I am using ionic 4 and trying to run on an android device after adding FCM(https://beta.ionicframework.com/docs/native/fcm) to the app to support push notification. However, I am not able to get a successful build as soon as I added the FCM native plugin to the app. it gave me the following error.

I have been searching for an answer for the past 2 days and have tried changing parameters in the build.gradle (Cannot run existing Android Project com.android.tools:common:25.3.3) but have no success. Please help if any one here have any idea how to resolve it. Thanks a lot.

Thank God, I found a solution, go to platforms/android/cordova-plugin-firebase/***.gradle... then change

this.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
        mavenCentral()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.2.0'
    }
}

to 

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url "https://maven.google.com" }
        jcenter()
        mavenLocal()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:+'
        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:+'
    }
}

I hope that it helps you, tell me if it works.....

Finally, I was able to fix this issue with Christian rodrigue's solution using a fresh copy of the ionic4 template. It was a bit tedious and troublesome. But at least it is working now. So basically, I use ionic start to get a new copy of the template and then added this plugin right away to see if it works. After I confirm that it is working, I then moved all the business logic to the new copy. Something is acting up in my old copy. I don't know what the exact cause is. Hope this help if you got into a similar situation like mine.

One thing I noticed that this error comes back if I upgrade the gradle in Android studio. So avoid upgrading if it prompt for now.
