Change the .aar from resource-file to lib-file

[jcesarmobile]

I saw a comment that said that using lib-file might fix the cordova-android 7/Cordova 8 issue.
Not sure why we have been using resource-file if the .aar is really a lib-file, maybe because resource-file allows to rename the file?

With lib-file it works, but had to also change the compile name on src/android/barcodescanner.gradle.
Other alternative is to rename the .aar, but I think it's better to keep the name so we can easily know the version we are using.

Fixes #589

when will be this fix in the package.json version?, I installed the plugin and still have the build issue with cordova 8 and android 7, I had to do this fix manually then ionic cordova platform add android ionic cordova build android and works

@Slzr how did you fixed it manually?

[jcesarmobile]

You can install from github url for now
cordova plugin add https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner

@macdonst can you do a 7.0.2 release if you have time?

@Trekkar I'm using ionic but I think is the same thing, just use the corresponding cordova cli commands

 # Remove the android build (if you have it)
> ionic cordova platform rm android
# Install the plugin (if you dont have it)
> ionic cordova plugin add phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner

In the plugins folder, go to cordova-plugin-barcodescanner folder and make the same changes as in the #592 commit

 # Add your platform again
> ionic cordova platform add android
# And build
> ionic cordova build android

that is all I did and works for me, hope was helpful 🍻
@jcesarmobile I tryed installing it from github like you say in the stackoverflow question but get Failed to fetch plugin https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugin-barcodescanner via registry. error.
thanks for the fix 👍 ❤️

I published a version 7.0.2 version to NPM.
