Could not find method compile() for arguments [com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:+]

@pvcoelho Just found workaround on this, the error is because this plugin has one dependency defined as
compile "com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:$googlePlayServicesVersion"
but "compile" is obsolate or removed from gradle 7+, just replace "compile" with "implementation", and that fixed error for my project, you can apply the workaround in file "\node_modules\nativescript-google-maps-sdk\platforms\android\include.gradle"; Need to confirm with plugin author(s) to see if "implementation" is the right replacement or "compileOnly" or "runtimeOnly" is.

I have been using this plugin for almost a year now, and have enjoyed using it, but just today after I tried to rebuild the app from scratch, first it complained gradle needs java 11, after switching to java 11, then I am experiencing the same error for this plugin (A problem occurred evaluating root project 'nativescript_google_maps_sdk') . Any help will be appreciated, thanks!
