cordova-plugin-googlemaps: Build fails com.google.android.gms.common.internal.safeparcel.AbstractSafeParcelable not found

When I use the ionic-native google-maps plugin it gives the error class file for com.google.android.gms.common.internal.safeparcel.AbstractSafeParcelable not found

When running ionic run android:

Error: /ionic-app/platforms/android/gradlew: Command failed with exit code 1 Error output:

I found this on stackoverflow: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41030573/ionic-v2-google-maps-api-android-build-error-cannot-access-abstractsafeparcelab

But I think it should work without tinkering inside the platforms folder.
