error: method does not override or implement Ionic cordova build is like this.

Were you able to solve this? I also need a solution. I encountered the supertype @Override error when I added the admob free plugin by ratson.

hello,

But this will not help you.

Maybe https://enhance.co/ is something you can use. It is for me a complete black box, so I do not know if this way has any negative and unwanted effects.
