Question

I Have no idea why I am getting this error whenever I try to create my app\'s build.I have tried many solutions but I was unable to solve this.i don\'t know if any plugins

Answer 1

After serveral tests, my solution was change cordova-plugin-firebase by cordova-plugin-firebasex. https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-plugin-firebase#migrating-from-cordova-plugin-firebase

rm -Rf platforms/android
cordova plugin rm cordova-plugin-firebase
rm -Rf plugins/ node_modules/
npm install
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-firebasex
cordova platform add android

I hope this helps.

This plugin has been migrated to use AndroidX (Jetpack) which is the successor to the Android Support Library. This is implemented by adding a dependency on cordova-plugin-androidx which enables AndroidX in the Android platform of a Cordova project.

This is because the major release of the Firebase and Play Services libraries on 17 June 2019 were migrated to AndroidX.

Therefore if your project includes any plugins which are dependent on the legacy Android Support Library, you should add cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter to your project. This plugin will dynamically migrate any plugin code from the Android Support Library to AndroidX equivalents.
