Background mode gives Error Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) on android

[INARTECHSA]

Im trying to use background mode with my Ionic 6 app but it gives me this error:
Targeting S+ (version 31 and above) requires that one of FLAG_IMMUTABLE or FLAG_MUTABLE be specified when creating a PendingIntent. Strongly consider using FLAG_IMMUTABLE, only use FLAG_MUTABLE if some functionality depends on the PendingIntent being mutable, e.g. if it needs to be used with inline replies or bubbles.
I’ve tried adding implementation 'androidx.work:work-runtime:2.7.1' to the gradle dependencies but no result. Any ideas on how to resolve this? Thanks!

There are multiple forks documented under issues and pull requests that address this. Seems no one is maintaining this version anymore.

for example.

I fixed it by manually opening the ForegroundService.java file under the folder de.appplant.cordova.plugin.background and around line 225 I changed the PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT to PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE or PendingIntent.FLAG_MUTABLE
