Android Studio Gradle: Ignored Annotations with GoogleServicesPlugin-CodePudding

I've searched through all of the answers I can find on stack overflow as well as on other similar sites, but the solutions there do not solve my problem.

I am trying to update my build tools on an old project from sdk 28 to sdk 31, to comply with the Google Play Store's security requirements, but every time I run ionic cordova build android --stacktrace I get the following result:

According to other answers, this seems to mean that I am using an old version of the com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.10 plugin, but I can't find where that is being called.

What I've tried:

Adding ext{ GOOGLE_SERVICES_VERSION='4.3.10'} to my global allProjects build.gradle. This didn't change the result
Commenting the apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services' line in the local build.gradle. This changed the error message from Cannot add extension with name 'googleServices', as there is an extension already registered with that name. to the error shown above. This also was tried in a similar block in build.gradle that will be shown below.
I added <preference name="GradlePluginGoogleServicesVersion" value="4.3.14" /> and <preference name="AndroidXEnabled" value="true" /> to config.xml. This seems to have standardize the version number, but does not fix the problem.
I removed and re-added android with ionic cordova platform remove android and ionic cordova platform add android but this reset did not change the issues
Changing the version of classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.10' in both /platforms/android/build.gradle and /platforms/android/app/build.gradle. I am confused about this one because each time I try to build, it changes back or duplicates with the old version, but I cannot figure out where this is coming from.
Ensuring the google-services.json has all necessary information. I have downloaded and redownloaded this file from firebase and it has not changed the outcome.

I know this is old stuff, but I am hoping that by compiling all of the answers I have found and tried into one place, I can help someone else out who is trying to update an old app.

CodePudding user response：

Basically, my solution was a reinstall. To solve, I simply did a fresh install of the project, on a new branch and started over. I also did a fresh install of my build tools, but I don't think this had any major effect on the result. I then changed the target SDK to 32, enabled android X, and updated some of my older Cordova plugins.
