When using cordova-plugin-firebase, I ran in to the following error:

At first I thought it is because isDeviceProtectedStorage in android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat was only added in API 24 and later. But even when using a newer device with Android 7, the same messages appears.
Why is the method not found? Is it because I failed to install some library?
