Building gives me the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Actually, this error occurs after I manually add an entry to plugins/android.json for the plug-in. For some odd reason, that entry was not added automatically when I added the plugin to the project (it was added to browser.json). If I don't add that entry, then the app compiles, but window.cordova.plugins.firebase.analytics is not populated, even though the plug-in is referenced correctly in config.xml and package.json if that matters (it is not listed in cordova_plugins.js).

What might account for this?

Closing, as I see the problem is lack of support under Cordova Android 6.3 (which I was pinning to due some other compatibility problems, namely with cordova-plugin-universal-links plugin, but that's another problem).

The author has missing dependency here. So installing cordova-support-android-plugin should fix it https://github.com/chemerisuk/cordova-support-android-plugin

Hi, I am also experiencing this issue when i tried building on my macbook. on Windows pc it does not have this error.
I tried installing this cordova-support-android-plugin but no luck. my biggest challenge is that when i have to build for android i have to copy files to windows machine then build and deploy from windows but ios everything is fine.

Facing same issue,

I can see the root of the issue ,
when I did
npx cap sync

• update android [warn] Plugins are missing dependencies.
  Cordova plugin dependencies must be installed in your project (e.g. w/ npm install).

   cordova-plugin-firebase-authentication is missing dependencies:
   - cordova-support-android-plugin (~1.0.0)
  

the plugin is not correctly installed to android folder

@muhammad-gul-dm any update did you find any solution?
