I am using the latest version of Visual Studio 2017 and Cordova 6.3.1 to compile cordova project using google play services. It was compiling just fine a few days ago, but now it throws errors:
1>MSBUILD : cordova-build error : FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

and same for different Google Play Services.
I've already tried to reinstall Android Support Repository, Google Play services and Google Repository from Android SDK Manager with no success.
Can anyone help me in this situation? Thanks in advance.
After various attempts I found out, the https was missing because of autohyperlinking. The correct answer is, as @Gabriele Mariotti said - maven { url "https://maven.google.com" } - the url starts with https.
