I also have a similar issue when trying to use nativescript-messenger.

Specifically, when building on Android, the full log is as follows:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Settings file './application/platforms/tempPlugin/nativescript_messenger/settings.gradle' line: 10

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating settings 'nativescript_messenger'.
> Cannot get property 'name' on null object

* Try:
> Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace.
> Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.
> Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

BUILD FAILED in 875ms
Failed to build plugin nativescript-messenger : 
Error: Command ./gradlew failed with exit code 1

Tracing this through, there is no record of the plugin being added to the dependencies.json file as part of the build process.

Not entirely sure about a suggested fix for this...
