After adding the plugin Android compilation fails

[HarelM]

Describe the bug
There seems to be a duplicate file between this plugin and probably another one (not sure which) that when I add this plugin I get a compilation error message.
In order to solve this error I add the following lines to gradle.build file in the app folder:

packagingOptions {
        exclude 'build-data.properties'
}

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. npm install @capacitor-community/sqlite
2. npx cap sync
3. try and build in android studio

Expected behavior
I should be able to add this plugin without any compilation errors

@HarelM Is that still true with the latest release 3.7.0 ?

[HarelM]

I'll check and let you know.

[HarelM]

Yes, this is still relevant.

[jepiqueau]

@HarelM Can you try 4.0.1

[HarelM]

I'll try and let you know. Thanks for taking the time to look into this!

[HarelM]

@jepiqueau the issue still exists in 4.0.1.
You can try and use my project for testing if you would like:
https://github.com/IsraelHikingMap/Site/blob/da90897a8b2813e1851d623007f72036fae0e4fa/IsraelHiking.Web/package.json
basically run npm i, npm run build:mobile, npx cap sync and build in android studio.

@HarelM i will try when i am back home

[jepiqueau]

@HarelM it seems that it may come from androidx.security:security-crypto where i use an alpha version but there is nothing i can do about.

[HarelM]

Ok, thanks for letting me know!
I have a work around that maybe worth mentioning in the docs then...?

[jepiqueau]

@HarelM can you make a PR for the doc?

[HarelM]

See #312

@HarelM i now close this issue, i will wait for a stable release of androidx.security:security-crypto from the android team. The reason why i use the alpha was that someone was asking for keeping the minimum API to 21 which the stable release 1.0.0 was not doing. Now that capacitor 4 does not support API 21 this is a bit stupid but it is difficult to step back.
