Error build (+newbie in gradle)

I’m new to Cordova, so some things are not clear to me. I tried to generate an APK from a project, but I’m getting an error. I’ve done some research, but I couldn’t find a solution. The error is as follows:

F:\VisioPRO>cordova build -- --webpackConfig webpack.config.js  

Checking Java JDK and Android SDK versions  
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=C:\Users\GeFor\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\ (recommended setting)  
ANDROID_HOME=undefined (DEPRECATED)  
Using Android SDK: C:\Users\GeFor\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk  

Subproject Path: CordovaLib  
Subproject Path: app  

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.  

* Where:  
Build file 'F:\VisioPRO\platforms\android\app\build.gradle' line: 28  

* What went wrong:  
A problem occurred evaluating project ':app'.  
> Could not resolve all artifacts for configuration 'classpath'.  
   > Could not find com.g00fy2:versioncompare:1.3.4.  
     Searched in the following locations:  
     - https://jcenter.bintray.com/com/g00fy2/versioncompare/1.3.4/versioncompare-1.3.4.pom  
     If the artifact you are trying to retrieve can be found in the repository but without metadata in 'Maven POM' format,  
     you need to adjust the 'metadataSources { ... }' of the repository declaration.
