Have you configured AndroidX support?

[timbru31]

Also, please note the following:

Android (with cordova-android >= 9.0.0 only)

It seems you are using an old Cordova-Android version.

Will this plugin work with capacitor?

[timbru31]

If Capacitor fixes their bugs: maybe.

[ajay-a1]

Any workaround till they fix the issues? Any specific issue which needs fixing?

Getting below error: "java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'void org.apache.cordova.CordovaPlugin.privateInitialize(java.lang.String, org.apache.cordova.CordovaInterface, org.apache.cordova.CordovaWebView, org.apache.cordova.CordovaPreferences)' on a null object reference"
