Hi,

I'm getting the following error while trying to build the project.

:compileDebugJavaWithJavacD:\dupont\laserfarm\aemm\plugins\platforms\android\src\com\bitpay\cordova\qrscanner\QRScanner.java:21: error: cannot find symbol
import org.apache.cordova.PermissionHelper;
^

Kindly help in resolving this issue.

I reverted back to 2.4.0 and it fixed this issue. I think the problem is with the removal of cordova-plugin-compat in #139 here

I suspect that adding this line back in will let you run the build - going to test it out.. will report back :)

Edit: Just realised that its not possible for me to test that without a lot of work as ionic automatically pulls and compiles the plugin when I add it. @vially would you be able to verify if this is the problem? I'd like to use 2.6.0 if possible

I may need some more info before I can have an opinion but it looks like you're using a version of cordova-android older than 6.3.0. If that's the case you should be able to fix it by adding cordova-plugin-compat to your config.xml (or bumping cordova-android if that's an option) and then you should be able to use qrscanner version 2.6.0. I'm not able to test it right now though, so I may be wrong.

Thanks @vially you were correct, good one. Cool!

Hi, I'm using Cordova 7.0.1, and getting the same "import org.apache.cordova.PermissionHelper" error, I would like to use the version 2.6.0 of this plugin, is there any instructions I can follow to install and overcome this issue?
Thanks

I had to use an older version for this.

Using older version(6.5) solved the issue.
