It looks like you have plugins with mutually incompatible versions of Android support libraries installed. If you can’t figure out who the culprits are by examining their code, you can always try eliminating them in groups to narrow it down.

Thank’s for Feedback,
i use a fork of the Plgin from https://github.com/compuhelmac/cordova-plugin-filepath/commit/1cf8f6ab745ee2c0044034c4093834df14d083a3 and now it works.
