Updated to which version ?

[wgrientidev]

Hi there.

You should go to variables.gradle and update 'compileSdkVersion' to '30'. This is the Version Code R for Android SDK.

[Ricardo385]

For those who still having the error, you need to go to Project folder -> platforms -> android -> build.gradle and then change defaultCompileSdkVersion to 30 instead 29. That resolved the error for me.

[ryansyrl]

my compileSDKVersion is already 30 but still having the same error.. is any other way to fix this?

[TBthegr81]

If ya dont wanna up the android version ya can also just install the previous commit: cordova plugin add https://github.com/moust/cordova-plugin-videoplayer.git#5c83c858ed159d68cce1bf54e31d6caf7e145fbf

In npm install (or Cordova plugin add) ya can specify a commit by adding the hashtag at the end. Here I specifiy the (at the time of writing) second to latest commit from 2018 an it compiled fine for me.
