FAILURE: Build failed with an exception when using "cordova-plugin-twilio-video" in Ionic 3

[Malini-creator]

Hi,
I want to implement the video call functionality in my ionic project. I'm trying to use cordova-plugin-twilio-video (https://github.com/okode/cordova-plugin-twilio-video) in Ionic 3. I'm facing issue when running the android build. Provided project has been created using capacitor. How can I use this in cordova?

Below is the error I'm getting when running the build
D8: Program type already present: android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout$Behavior

I had similar issue on ionic 5, tried these 2 plugins and then it worked -

add plugin to enable AndroidX in the project

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-androidx

add plugin to patch existing plugin source that uses the Android Support Library to use AndroidX

cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-androidx-adapter

You can try adding these and check.

It seems that some plugin or native dependency brings some AndroidX dependency to your project and this plugin is not directly compatible with AndroidX. You must migrate the plugin code to AndroidX.

Doing what @neerajsaxena0711 says here if you are working in a Cordova project: #13 (comment)

Or using Jetifier if you are using this plugin in a Capacitor project:
