Ionic build fails at "Could not resolve com.google.android.gms:play-services-ads-identifier:[15.0.0, 16.0.99]"

Question

So building was always fine until it wasn't. Nothing new was added, nothing was removed, no packages installed, nothing. Everything was working fine until the build issues happened. This is the full error report

> Configure project :app
Error 'Plugin-Version' of 'unspecified' for 'com.android.build.gradle.AppPlugin@4aae70b2' is not a valid version number

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

Any ideas on what could be causing this? I tried the following but nothing resolved the issue:

Re-installing npm package after uninstalling them + reinitializing platforms and plugins
Updating gradle from 7.2 to 7.4.2
Removing OneSignal plugin

try replace

jcenter()

with this:

mavenCentral()

and see this issue JCenter deprecation; impact on Gradle and Android
