Ionic Native GooglePlus login fails without any error

Finally, the root cause and solution was found. The issue happened because Google updated all com.google.android.gms:play-* modules and this affected all Google services cordova plugins.

If you are using only Google Plus plugin, then everything should be fine I think.

In other case, all dependencies in project.properties, plugin.xml files to com.google.android.gms:play-* should be replaced with older version 11.8.0:

was

com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:+

should be

com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.8.0

I know, that this is better to be called a workaround, but no other solutions work.

UPDATE 08.10.2018

After last updates, plugin is again not working. The issue happened because of conflict of versions of ``com.google.android.gms:play-services-:`.

For instance, com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:15.0.1, used by Google Maps plugin, and com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.8.0 used by Google Plus plugin.

Solution is then straightforward:

1. In config.xml put <variable name="PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION" value="15.0.1" /> (instead of 15.0.1 there could be newer/older version) to every plugin, which uses play services - normally all plugins related to Google services.
2. In platforms/android/project.properties use everywhere for play services version 15.0.1 (here should version the same as in point 1).

Thank you heroin for the answer. My problem was with:

1) com.google.android.gms:play-services-tagmanager:+

2) com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.8.0

3) com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.8.0

What I did to fix it was as heroin suggested, but instead I delete the 11.8.0 for 2) and 3) and just replaced it with the "+". Then I went into the config.xml found the:

variable name="PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION" value="11.8.0"

as heroin suggested, then replaced the "11.8.0" with "+". Re-compiled and ran, and now google plus works again.

I tried to change the android/project.properties, the lines with google_auth and identity to

cordova.system.library.5=com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:+ cordova.system.library.6=com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:+
