Build Error After Installing Plugin (D8: Program type already present: android.support.v4.app.INotificationSideChannel$Stub)

I got the same issue. I fixed it by installing androidx and androidx-adapter using below:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-androidx
cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter

And, then, I edited my gradle.properties and added the 2 lines below:

android.useAndroidX=true
android.enableJetifier=true

After that, I recompiled my project and it worked.

I realised the package.json doesn't have the plugins androidx and androidx-adapter but I still get the same issue when installed

@rajesh1158 As mentioned in my 2nd comment, I did install both plugins and that's when I faced the issue where my googleplus plugin just stopped working.

Fortunately, I was able to solve my issue by removing the androidx and androidx-adapter plugin, then changing the 2 lines in android/app/build.gradle:

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:11.8.0"
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:11.8.0"

to this

implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:+"
implementation "com.google.android.gms:play-services-identity:+"

After that I had no issues and all plugins were functional. However, I don't feel like this is the best way to get it to work. I will give you're method a try but would prefer to find a solution that doesn't require changing the build files

For now it's a good solution.
The issue here is that cordova-plugin-googleplus and cordova-plugin-fcm-with-dependecy-updated make use of native dependencies that, if in wildly different in version, cannot work well together.

What you could try is to, instead of changing the file, install cordova-plugin-googleplus with the configuration set, like:

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-googleplus --variable PLAY_SERVICES_VERSION="+"

This would not only set the plugin config as you manually configured yourself, as it'd set in package.json, for reference.

Closed issue due to inactivity.
