Execution failed for task ':app:mapDebugSourceSetPaths'. > Error while evaluating property 'extraGeneratedResDir' of task

Question

I've checked this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/34834772/13519865

It tells us to remove this line

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Removing the line as asked completes the build, but I can't use Firebase (ofc!), it caused a new error, which tells me to add the line: https://stackoverflow.com/a/40085096/13519865

So, I'm stuck in a loop here. Related code sample added here https://github.com/Cyberavater/A.Reader

According to the new Chipmunk update of Android Studio, if you need to use Google Services, you have to add the following lines of code inside your build.gradle (Project) file:

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application' version '7.2.0' apply false
    id 'com.android.library' version '7.2.0' apply false
    id 'com.google.gms.google-services' version '4.3.10' apply false ?
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

And inside your build.gradle (Module) file, the following plugin IDs:

plugins {
    id 'com.android.application'
    id 'com.google.gms.google-services' ?
}
