I tried to install this plugin on my project just with the Ionic doc

ionic cordova plugin add com-darryncampbell-cordova-plugin-intent npm install @ionic-native/web-intent

Then i run npm run build and cap copy android. But when i try to run the app with Android Studio i get the following error:

Im using cordova 9 9.0.0 (cordova-lib@9.0.1)

I have no idea what i have done wrong. Any idea? Thanks!

Are you able to run the application with the Ionic CLI?

ionic cordova run android

[darryncampbell]

I just reverted several breaking changes related to Android X that were present in version 1.x of this plugin and moved those changes to 2.x - you may want to try your app again

[youngdolphin]

Thanks for the fix, now it runs!

[youngdolphin]

Sorry i have to reopen this issue, i just found out that the dependency was missing from package.json and that was the reason the app was building fine. Now that I have to use the WebIntent plugin i reinstalled it again and i have this same error. I'll try to find the problem, do you have any idea on what is causing this error? (I tried with 1.3.0 and with 2.0.0 versions)

Hi, I don't really know I'm afraid - to give some background the Ionic Native / WebIntent component wrapped this plugin without communicating with me... which is fine since this plugin is released under MIT but does mean I am not very familiar with Ionic Native. Can you try using the plugin directly?

cordova plugin add com-darryncampbell-cordova-plugin-intent@1.3.0

[youngdolphin]

I don't really know why but it worked with version 1.2.0, so i'm happy for now, thanks!
