Guys, as a workaround all you need to do is clone the OneSignal-Cordova-SDK plugin and in the build-extras-onesignal.gradle file change the com.google.android.gms and com.google.firebase dependencies like this:

def versionGroupAligns = [
    // ### Google Play Services library
    'com.google.android.gms': [
        'version': '11.8.+'
    ],

    // ### Google Firebase library
    // Although not used by OneSignal Firebase has some dependencies on gms
    // If present, ensuring they are aligned
    'com.google.firebase': [
        'version': '11.8.+'
    ],
...

Then, reinstall the OneSignal plugin from your filesystem.

I know it is not ideal but works for me. Hope OneSignal will use the latest Play Services version in their next release. I created an issue in their repo: https://github.com/OneSignal/OneSignal-Cordova-SDK/issues/297

I did not have time to dig deeper how this issue can be resolved in a more elegant way but if you do I’ll be more than happy if you let me know.
