Thank you for your report @abisalde 🙇

Based on the information shared, the error you are encountering:

      > Could not create task ':app:uploadCrashlyticsSymbolFileBaseappRelease'.
         > Google-Services plugin not configured properly.

is related to the Crashlytics (Firebase) integration, not Sentry itself (related Crashlytics issue). This error typically occurs when the google-services.json file is missing from your Android project, but it is required by the Crashlytics Gradle plugin.

Could you test with Crashlytics disabled/removed?

Are you setting up Sentry on a new project or you noticed the issue after bumping to the latest (7.4.0) version?

Hi @antonis, this error occurs when I bumped Sentry from 7.3.0 to 7.4.0. Working with Sentry 7.3.0
