Current behavior: I added this plugin to my project but when I tried to build my project, the build failed with the error below. I then created a blank project to reproduce the issue, added this plugin successfully as described in the docs, attempted to build and the build still failed with the same error. What could be the issue causing this?

Did you find a solution to this? I'm encountering it also.

You need to update to cordova-android@10+ and target SDK API 30+ Latest is cordova-android@11 which targets API 32.
