Cordova Android Error :app:transformclasseswithdesugarfordebug When Adding Plugin

Whenever I add cordova-plugin-intercom to the solution I get an error during build at :app:transformClassesWithStackFramesFixerForDebug. Added whole output below. Project is an emp

Solution 1:

The actual error causing the build failure is this:

AAPT: error: resource android:attr/dialogCornerRadius not found.

As outlined in this answer, the reason for this error is when the compileSdkVersion does not match the Android Support Library version.

Since cordova-android@7.1.0, the compileSdkVersion has been set to 27.

Therefore check your platforms/android/app/build.gradle and see if it contains some references to an earlier version of the Support Library, e.g.:

compile"com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+"

If so, then a plugin in your project is probably pinning that version and causing the conflict.

One potential solution is to use cordova-android-support-gradle-release to override the version of the Support Library specified by other plugins:

cordova plugin add cordova-android-support-gradle-release--variable ANDROID_SUPPORT_VERSION=27.+
