I have seen this issue before with push plugin or maps plugin or google plugin, it's regarding cordova plugins and their dependencies, in your case this line it's helpful.

Failed to apply plugin [class 'com.google.gms.googleservices.GoogleServicesPlugin'] For input string: "+" :

So one fix will be: inside platforms/android open project.properties, you will have something like this

cordova.system.library.2=com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:+
cordova.system.library.3=com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:+

Try to have the google play services to match in version, in my case after specifying the version I ended up with the file like this:

# This file is automatically generated by Android Tools.
# Do not modify this file -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE ERASED!
#
# This file must be checked in Version Control Systems.
#
# To customize properties used by the Ant build system edit
# "ant.properties", and override values to adapt the script to your
# project structure.
#
# To enable ProGuard to shrink and obfuscate your code, uncomment this (available properties: sdk.dir, user.home):
#proguard.config=${sdk.dir}/tools/proguard/proguard-android.txt:proguard-project.txt
# Project target.
