If you use @ionic-native/google-maps, please tell the package.json (only @ionic-native/core and @ionic-native/google-maps are fine mostly)

Current behavior:

:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac
:compileReleaseJavaWithJavac - is not incremental (e.g. outputs have changed, no previous execution, etc.).

Umm, it seems defaultBuildToolsVersion is the point.

What other cordova plugins are you using? When I had the same problem it was caused by the onesignal plugin forcing an older version of Google Play Services via a gradle build script.

See here: https://github.com/OneSignal/OneSignal-Cordova-SDK/issues/297

I am not saying you have the same problem you might not be using OneSignal at all but I would look into you other Cordova plugins and gradle scripts.
