Godot Custom Build Fail

Question

In Godot 3.4.2 I'm trying to export an android project that uses Game Analytics and custom build. But it fails to export the build and gives me this message.
the full message is too long to post here so I removed part of it.

So far I've been unable to find any answers that can help.
Please advise.
