Only buildscript {}, pluginManagement {} and other plugins {} script blocks are allowed before plugins {} blocks, no other statements are allowed

I can’t figure out where the error is, please help, what should I do to resolve it?

Codes of the build.gradle file in the app module

apply plugin: "istek-d3264"
apply plugin: "com.android.application"
apply plugin: "com.facebook.react"
plugins {
    
    id "com.android.application"

    // Add the ID of the plugin
    id "com.google.gms.google-services"
    
    
}





//apply plugin: "com.google.gms.google-services"

error Failed to install the app.

Which part of the error message is unclear?

I understand the error message, but I still don’t understand why it gives an error. What should I do?

If you don’t know what to do, you probably did not understand the error message.
The error message says you must not have arbitrary statements before the plugins { ... } block but you have three statements before it.
So don’t have unsupported statements before the plugins { ... } block and the error is gone.

Besides that, you should probably anyway not use the legacy way of applying plugins using apply plugin:... but apply all plugins using the plugins { ... } block unless there is a very good reason not to. And if there is, do it after the plugins { ... } block.

I add it without the block in the plugins, this time it gives another error and says the part for the project id was not found.

I add it like this
aplyy plugin : “com.android.application”

aplyy plugin: “com.google.gms.google-services”

but

I get this error

Well, obviously no plugin with that ID exists
