I've already added the meta-field to AndroidManifest, and tried to remove platforms, but without luck.

are you solve this problem, i get same error

@Djip Not sure whether you managed to resolve this. But i'm just gonna put what helped me resolve the error for the benefit of someone else who might be running into the same issue.

Based on android gradle doc, it seems that this error is due to the transitive dependency.
To resolve this, add 'api' dependency in your app.gradle like so:

android{
  dependencies{
            api 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.0.1'
            api 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-basement:16.0.1'
  }
}

Then tns remove platform and re-add again before running the app again.

Good luck!
