You have multiple modules requiring the same Android logger library that this plugin uses org.slf4j.

Background Geolocation imports the latest version 2.0.7 while org.java-websocket-Java-WebSocket imports the older 1.7.25.

Solution

• In your android/build.gradle, add the following ext variables:

buildscript {
    ext {
        .
        .
        .
        slf4jVersion = "1.7.36"
        logbackVersion = "2.0.1"
    }
}
