Clean checkout will not compile

[mrj9600]

I have made a clean checkout and executes gradlew.bat from root directory. This gives the following errors: Configure project :app GMS secret is missing!

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong: A problem occurred configuring project ':app'.

  Check your service account configuration. Json credentials cannot specify a Service Account email while PKCS12 credentials must do so.

I have managed to build the project by removing varioud google play and signing sections from build.gradle file (locally). I guess my issue is that I dont have a developer key as I have never deployed any app to google play store.

For those who hit the same issue, the problematic plugins are com.github.triplet.play and io.fabric. I applied the following changes and can build with gradle assembleRelease -x test. If you want tests you may want to add android { lintOptions { abortOnError false } } so linting errors don't fail the build.
