I'm facing the same issue. Why is this plugin still using the old (and deprecated) android.support library? It should be migrated to AndroidX

[ndrake]

I'm pretty sure the multiple_maps branch has AndroidX support.

Hi @ppetree Did you find a solution? I'm facing the same issue with Android.

My info project:

Cordova Packages:

cli: 10.0.0
    common: 4.0.2
    create: 3.0.0
    lib: 10.0.0
        common: 4.0.2
        fetch: 3.0.1
        serve: 4.0.0

Project Installed Platforms:

• android: 10.0.1

I changed the libraries to AndroidX version

"import android.support.annotation.NonNull" --> "import androidx.annotation.NonNull" and "import android.support.v4.content.PermissionChecker" --> "import androidx.core.content.PermissionChecker"

and app builds pretty well, but the map is blank and no errors.

Should this plugin work with Cordova platform 10 ?

I installed in Cordova platform 9 and it's work pretty well.

Try this:

  <platform name="android">
    <preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="22" />
    <preference name="android-targetSdkVersion" value="29" />
    <preference name="android-installLocation" value="auto" />
    <preference name="android-multiDexEnabled" value="true" />
    <preference name="AndroidXEnabled" value="true" />
    <preference name="JetifierEnabled" value="true" />
  </platform>
  <plugin name="cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter" spec="1.1.3" />
  <plugin name="@havesource/cordova-plugin-push" spec="1.0.0">
    <variable name="SENDER_ID" value="12345678901" />
    <variable name="FCM_VERSION" value="18.+" />
  </plugin>

Thank you for the reply @ppetree, but this change didn't work, no solution yet.
