cordova-android-play-services-gradle-release | Phonegap plugin for Android to align versions | Plugin library

When I upgraded cordova-android@9.0.0 to cordova-android@10.1.1 I've got a build problem when I run cordova build android --release --buildconfig=build.json

Problems:

I'm writing a game in Ionic React - which forces the use of Capacitor.

There is no real Capacitor plugin. Normally in Capacitor, you could use Cordova plugins with the appropriate wrapper, as documented here. So I installed as instructed here, but now Android Studio throws up a bunch of build errors like those:

I have a large Ionic 4 Cordova project that was working fine and all, no new plugins installed in the past 3+ months.

It seems to happen almost every time Google decides to update Firebase that breaking changes occur and everything is messed up (at least twice a year).

This just happened, one moment I was building the project and after 5 minutes, I did another build with nothing changed other than some Typescript code and everything was broken (see part of the output below). When I looked at the build output, it seems clear that it's another Firebase issue out of nowhere (April 23rd update), but this one seems to break a lot of things, not just Firebase plugin (such as D8: Type libcore.io.Memory was not found).

What can be done about this? It no longer works with or without Firebase plugin. I've tried reinstalling platform and plugins, removing Firebase plugin (then it builds with warnings but crashes when running on Android device).

Here is the cordova build output:

ERROR:

ERROR in node_modules/@angular/platform-browser-dynamic/platform-browser-dynamic.d.ts(15,10): error TS2305: Module '"node_modules/@angular/compiler/compiler"' has no exported member 'JitEvaluator'.

Below is my package.json:
