Biometric authentication with FingerprintAIO

Ionic Framework Ionic Angular
1

I am trying to implement the authentication of my Ionic v4 application through the fingerprint-aio plugin.

I’m use android-cordava@9.0.0 as below:

ionic cordova platform add android@9.0.0

fiz a instalação do plugin FingerPrint AIO conforme a documentação (https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/fingerprint-aio).

ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-fingerprint-aio
npm install @ionic-native/fingerprint-aio

however, when I try to build the application:

ionic cordova build android

the build fails and displays the message below:

[Gradle Properties] Detected Gradle property “android.useAndroidX” with the value of “true”, Cordova’s recommended value is “false”
[Gradle Properties] Detected Gradle property “android.enableJetifier” with the value of “true”, Cordova’s recommended value is “false”
